Oh, a sailor's life is
The life for me
How I love to sail o'er
The bounding sea
And I never, never
Ever do a thing about the weather
For the weather never
Ever does a thing for me!
Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me
Tiddle-ee-um pom pom
Deedle dum dum dee...
Forward, backward, inward, outward
Come and join the chase
Nothing could be drier
Than a jolly caucus race
Backward, forward, outward, inward
Bottom to the top
Never a beginning
There can never be a stop
To skipping, hopping, tripping fancy free and gay
Started it tomorrow
But will finish yesterday
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Until forevermore
For once we were behind
But now we find we are be-
Foreward, backward, inward, outward
Come and joing hte chase
Nothing could be drier
Than a jolly caucus race!
