The Eyjafjallajokull sea chanty:

Fat Yokel was a volcan-o,
Away, haul, away.
‘E’rupted up in Iceland-o,
We’ll haul away, me Johny.

‘E blew ‘is ash up in the sky,
Away, haul, away.
The airyplanes they couldn’t fly,
We’ll haul away, me Johny.

Fat Yokel had a funny name,
Away, haul, away.
‘E put the TV boys to shame,
We’ll haul away, me Johny.
