"The Pirate Song (This Way, That Way)"
When I was one, I played the drum
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 Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me!"
When I was two, I buckled my shoe
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a Pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
Chorus
When I was three, I grazed my knee
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a Pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
Chorus
When I was four, I knocked on the door
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a Pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
Chorus
When I was five, I learned to dive
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a Pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
Chorus x2
