The Sneezing Fisherman

This humorous song is great for:

Singing in 6/8 metre.
Preparing and practising the melodic element 'ti'.
Singers who aren't very confident and boys whose voices are breaking as the song only has a range of a 6th. (Most of the song is within the range of a 5th.)
Practising two of the easier rhythms in compound time: ta ti and ti-ti-ti.
Having fun!
