Flanders & Swann
The Sea Horse
On the morning after her bridal night
The lady sea horse bolts
Leaving her sea horse groom to hatch
Sea fillies and sea colts
While her husband tends their sea urchin brood
The Sea Mare spends her days
Opening hospital gala fetes at charity matinees
At Charity Matinees
The sea horse never leaves his young
He would not if he could
While his mare faced wife is out and about busily doing good
Busily doing good
