- Oh, how delicious is the
belly
- The fattest part of the pilot
fish
- So rich when swallowed
- The bone fish with thick
gravy
- The mackerel, dunked in
sauce
- Delicious tasting
- A delight to the throat to
swallow
-
-
- Chorus:
- Delicious, delicious,
delicious
- Indeed, how delicious
-
-
- Don't choose only the scad
fish
- The fish of the depths
- Pay some attention to the
mullet
- And the reef surgeonfish cooked
on the coals
- Andthe surgeonfish with the
bright sweet eyes
- Delicious tasting
- A delight to the throat to
swallow
