The Pirate Song

When I was one, I sucked my thumb The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was two, I buckled my shoe The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was three, I grazed my knee The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was four, I swam ashore The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was five, I learned to dive The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was six, I gathered sticks The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was seven, I prayed to heaven The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was eight, I was almost late The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was nine, I was feeling fine The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me" When I was ten, I started again The day I went to sea I climbed aboard a pirate ship And the Captain said to me "We're going this way, that way Forwards, backwards Over the Irish Sea A bottle of rum to fill my tum A pirate's life for me"
