Oh! the Queen of the Orkney Islands,

She dresses in wonderful taste.

The sea-serpent coils, all painted in oils,

Around her bee-yu-tiful waist.

Oh! her gown is made of the green sea-kale;

And though she knows nothing of feet,

She can manage her train, with an air of disdain,

In a way that is perfectly sweet.

Oh! the Queen of the Orkney Islands,

She's travelling over the main.

So we'll hire a hack, and we'll take her straight back

To her beautiful Islands again.
