WORDS TO SONGS & FINGERPLAYS:
When I was one, I just begun,
Were going over, going under,
Over the deep blue sea.
Standing attention,
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
Like a soldier.
And the Captain said to me:
With the one, two, three.
Were going over, going under,
Standing attention,
When I was three, I skid my knee,
Like a soldier.
Over the deep blue sea.
With the one, two, three.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
When I was two, I lost my shoe,
Were going over, going under,
Over the deep blue sea.
Standing attention,
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
Like a soldier.
And the Captain said to me:
With the one, two, three.
