From the Web: The author and composer of We Wish You a Merry Christmas cannot be traced however it is believed to date back to England in the sixteenth century. The tradition of carollers being given Christmas treats for singing to wealthy members of the community is reflected in this Christmas song.
We fish from this ferry isthmus,
We fish from this ferry isthmus,
We fish from this ferry isthmus, we use nets, lines, and spears.
The tide now has come, the ferries are in,
Good tides on this ferry isthmus bring boatloads of sightseers.
Sometimes we frig in the riggging,
Sometimes we frig in the riggging,
Sometimes we frig in the riggging, when the captain's not near.
We won't go until we catch some,
We won't go until we catch some,
We won't go until we get some, we've been at sea a year.
We fish from this ferry isthmus,
We fish from this ferry isthmus,.
We fish from this ferry isthmus,
And you should see the one that got away!
We fish from this ferry isthmus,
We fish from this ferry isthmus, we use nets, lines, and spears.
The tide now has come, the ferries are in,
Good tides on this ferry isthmus bring boatloads of sightseers.
Sometimes we frig in the riggging,
Sometimes we frig in the riggging,
Sometimes we frig in the riggging, when the captain's not near.
We won't go until we catch some,
We won't go until we catch some,
We won't go until we get some, we've been at sea a year.
We fish from this ferry isthmus,
We fish from this ferry isthmus,.
We fish from this ferry isthmus,
And you should see the one that got away!

He's a man on a mission!
Clever title..good follow up..
Thanks, all. Too much time on my hands, Kristof.
Hopefully with a thick line and a sharp spar... ;-)
Minor pacing problems, but the title pun and the unusual song/topic combination make up for them. 5-5-5!
