Lifeboat Service in Flint

Lifeboat Service in Flint
 
The gannet was pecking
The swan it was flapping
The sheep they were ma-a-h-ing
All over the boat
We clung to the life-lines
We hung on the sheep tails
And we were just grateful
That nobody rescued a goat

They said we could all rescue people
We knew that we'd like to stop drowning at sea
They said we could all rescue people
But this is reality - as we can see
ch
We crewmen were called to give service
To save people's lives from the drowning at sea
We crewmen were called to give service
And service is service - however it be
ch
Then one woman rang to spread ashes
It isn't the saving of drowning at sea
But somebody needs to spread ashes
So out we will go - we will serve and agree
ch
 
From bungalows flooded we'll save them
In boats out of bedrooms - in tides in the sea
And somebody's needed to save them
To bring out the people - to dry and set free
ch
With accidents - suicides - lilos
We're kept pretty busy - and off out to sea
With accidents - suicides - lilos
And sometimes a sailor who's sunk in the Dee
ch
Oh Flint is not 'hearted' but 'sharpened'
There's nothing but safety for us on the sea
Oh Flint is not 'hearted' but 'sharpened'
We rescue the sailor - or anyone out on a spree

The gannet was pecking
The swan it was flapping
The sheep they were ma-a-h-ing
All over the boat
We clung to the life-lines
We hung on the sheep tails
And we were just grateful
That nobody rescued a goat
