the small catches

The small and medium prawns

Getting caught in the net

As the Macc fishermen rolling in

Beating their chests hitting the drums

Sailing back to the shore

The villagers flock in to watch

The Macc fisherment put it up

Let the villagers see the catch

The big and fat prawns

The Macc fishermen can't explain

They don't get it to the bottom

When they see the waves rising high

The villagers whisper

“We can't barbeque it

It is too small to make the grade

We need the big fat prawns to trade”

The Macc fishermen feels let down

“We brave the wind and the waves

Catching these prawns in secret”

“Give us the big fat prawns”

The villagers walk away

Whispering their dissatisfaction

The Macc fishermen hold on to their catch

“Maybe there is another place to try”

“We should sail to Bamboo River

It is said there will be plenty to sell

We should bring our catches there

We may get a decent price”
