Pirate Song         

 

When I was one I sucked my thumb

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me:

 

CHORUS:

“We’re going this way, that way, forwards, backwards,

Over the Irish Sea.

A bottle of juice to give me a boost

‘Cause that’s the life for me.”

When I was two I tied my shoe

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was three I climbed a tree

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was four I shut the door

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was five I learned the jive

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was six I picked up sticks

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was seven I went to heaven

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was eight I was late

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was nine I got in line

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was ten I started again

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate’s ship

And the captain said to me: (Chorus)

 

When I was one I sucked my thumb

The day I went to sea…
