When I was one I was looking for fun the day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me: "We're going this way, that way, forwards, backwards, over the deep blue sea." The ocean breeze is sure to please; yes, that's the life for me! When I was two I tied my shoe the day I went to sea. When I was three I scraped my knee the day I went to sea. When I was four I wanted to explore the day I went to sea. When I was five I was glad to be alive the day I went to sea. When I was six I learned new tricks the day I went to sea.

When I was 10 I did it all again the day I went to sea.
