Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down by the quay at dawn
I met a girl in foam
She wore a seal-skin grin
And winked at my rope and comb
I said, “Well aren’t you bold?”
She said, “You’re a catch for me”
Then I laughed and tugged my line
And she laughed right back at me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, she had that look
Like she knew my name
I had my boots in mud
And my cheeks in flame
[Chorus]
Seal me once, kiss me twice
(Seal me once)
She smiled like she’d done this life
(Oh, she knew it)
Net in a knot, I lost the fight
(Tease me now)
And she laughed, “That’s right, that’s right”
(That’s right, that’s right)
[Verse 2]
I cast my net too wide
And caught my own bright sleeve
Then one wet turn, one foolish step
And I was bound to knee
She circled me like tide
With a grin all teeth and gin
Said, “Fisherwoman, what a catch
You’ve hooked yourself again”
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I swore I’d stay
Cool as a spring
But her eyes were sparks
And her voice made ring
[Chorus]
Seal me once, kiss me twice
(Seal me once)
She smiled like she’d done this life
(Oh, she knew it)
Net in a knot, I lost the fight
(Tease me now)
And she laughed, “That’s right, that’s right”
(That’s right, that’s right)
[Bridge]
She pulled one strand
I pulled three
Now I’m snared like supper
By the heresy of her knee
She leaned in close
Said, “Need a hand?”
I said, “Only if you plan
To kiss me where I stand”
[Final Chorus]
Seal me once, kiss me twice
(Seal me once)
She smiled like she’d done this life
(Oh, she knew it)
Net in a knot, I lost the fight
(Tease me now)
And she laughed, “That’s right, that’s right”
(That’s right, that’s right)
Seal me once, kiss me twice
(Seal me once)
She left me tied with my own good life
(Oh, what a sight)
Net in a knot, I paid the price
(Tease me now)
And she laughed, “That’s right, that’s right”
(That’s right, that’s right)
