In Middle Ocean...

[Maz]

...Sardines are Swimming,
Apusky-dusky, Apusky-doo...



Anyone else remember this song from skool?

Anyone got the full lyrics or the book it came from (was it also called Apusky-dusky?)

I'm not going mad...one of my brain-bubbles containing distant memories finally reached the surface and popped!

Mr Google, he say:



In Middle ocean, sardines are swimming
Apusski dusky, apusskidu
A boat sails over, down comes a net
Apusski dusky, apusskidu

One wise old sardine flicks out a warning
Apusski dusky, apusskidu
Swift through the water they dart away
Apusski dusky, apusskidu

With tails a-flashing sardines are swimming,
Apusski dusky, apusskidu
So full of joy that they’re swimming free
Apusski dusky, apusskidu

I have a weird song from school that I can't remember properly, and Google doesn't help me. One verse of it goes like this:

Lot 36, lot 36
Do do do do do do
(Something something) Stradivarius
Owners of the past were famed and various
If I played a tune 'twould be hilarious
'Cos I'm the auctioneer

I think of it quite often.
