Now hEme's the one who sings while the Dlubbers scrub the Emfloor
Oh Cmy, Oh Gmy, Oh Dmy
And Emhe's the one who laughs when the Dstorm begins to Emroar
Oh Cmy, Oh Gmy, Oh Dmy
When his Emfiddle starts to play better Bmhide away
If yoCu don't Dwanna Emdie
He Emis the one to blame when a Dmate goes overEmboard
Oh Ammy, Oh Bmmy, Oh Emmy
Chorus:
He's the Cfiddler, he's the Gfiddler, he's the Amfiddler on the Emdeck
Better take Ccare and be aEmware he's like a Dcutlass in your Emback
He's the Cfiddler, he's the Gfiddler, he's the Amfiddler on the Emdeck
Better take Ccare he's everyEmwhere he's like a Dneedle in yer Emneck
He's the Cfiddler on his Dwreck
I'm the fiddler on the Emdeck
He's Emdancing in the tops, when the Dship goes down the Emdrain 
Oh Cmy, Oh Gmy, Oh Dmy
And Emhe's the reason why, when me Dmateys go inEmsane
Oh Cmy, Oh Gmy, Oh Dmy
When he Emplays a fiddle tune, better Bmcatch him soon
Or Cwave the Dworld Emgoodbye
He Emis the one to blame when the Ddevil calls your Emname
Oh Ammy, Oh Bmmy, Oh Emmy
He's the Cfiddler, he's the Gfiddler, he's the Amfiddler on the Emdeck
Better take Ccare and be aEmware he's like a Dcutlass in your Emback
He's the Cfiddler, he's the Gfiddler, he's the Amfiddler on the Emdeck
Better take Ccare he's everyEmwhere he's like a Dneedle in yer Emneck
He's the Cfiddler on his Dwreck
I'm the fiddler on the Emdeck
He's the Cfiddler, he's the Gfiddler, he's the Amfiddler on the Emdeck
Better take Ccare and be aEmware he's like a Dcutlass in your Emback
He's the Cfiddler, he's the Gfiddler, he's the Amfiddler on the Emdeck
