My ship and I

O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship

Of a ship that goes a sailing on the pond.

And my ship it keeps a turning all around and all about,

But when I'm a little older I shall find the secret out

How to send my vessel sailing on beyond.

For I mean to grow as little as the dolly on the helm

And the dolly I intend to come alive

And with him beside to help me it's a sailing I shall go,

It's a sailing on the water where the jolly breezes blow

And the vessel goes a divie divie dive.

O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds

And you'll hear the water singing at the prow.

For beside the dolly sailor I'm to voyage and explore

To land upon the island where no dolly was before

And I'll fire the penny cannon on the bow!
