\nChorus:<\/em> Ho, the last one.<\/li>\n
\nOh let me go to the water side.<\/li>\n
\nLet me run this boat to the water side.<\/li>\n
\nBroke this line and levee go.<\/li>\n
\nAnd swing your tail and levee go.<\/li>\n
\nSwing your tail like a grouper tail.<\/li>\n
\nSwing your tail like a snapper tail.<\/li>\n
\nSwing your tail like a barracuda tail.<\/li>\n
\nSwing your tail to the waterside.<\/li>\n
\nThe last one from down below.<\/li>\n
\nOh the last on for the thirty-nine.<\/li>\n
\nSwing away and let me go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
