about

Down on Australia's southern coast is a huge old volcano crater filled now with salt waters. It is here that you can find a very playful bunch of Australian Fur Seals.

lyrics

A Seal Holiday

Let me take you on a seal holiday
We won’t go far – just to Bridgewater Bay
The water’s calm and the place ideal
We’ll go looking, looking for seals

Seals play - they zoom and zip
Off the rocks with a flap and a flip
Seals “arf” and share a kiss
The life of a seal is total bliss

Let me take you on a seal holiday
A big volcano made Bridgewater Bay
There’s a deep ocean cave in the crater rim
Where the seals all rest when they’ve had a swim
Seals swim and surf and bob
Catching fish is a skilful job
Seals were hunted and most were killed
Now they’re protected and the rocks are filled

Let me take you on a seal holiday
The seals are friendly – they’ll come and say gidday
Don’t get the boat too close, don’t give ‘em a feed
The ocean provides everything they need
Seals stink – they really do
They have bad breath and smelly poo
Never mind, don’t let it get to you
Because a seals gotta do what a seals gotta do
