The Day I Went To Sea
When I was one I’d just begun the day I went to sea
I jumped on board a Pirate’s ship and the captain said to me:
We’re going this way, that way, forward and backwards over the Irish Sea,
forwards and backwards over the sea and that’s the life for me.
When I was two I buckled my shoe the day I went to sea
I jumped on board a Pirate’s ship and the captain said to me:
We’re going this way, that way, forward and backwards over the Irish Sea,
forwards and backwards over the sea and that’s the life for me.
Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream,
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream,
if you see a crocodile don’t forget to scream!
Two Little Pirates
(Said to the tune of ‘Two Little Dickie Birds’)
Two little pirates sailing on their ship,
one called Pete, the other called Pip.
Sail away Pete, sail away Pip,
come back Pete, come back Pip!
If You’re a Pirate and You Know It
(sung to the tune of ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’)
If you’re a pirate and you know it, swab the deck (swish, swish),
if you’re a pirate and you know it, swab the deck (swish, swish),
if you’re a pirate and you know it, and you really want to show it,
if you’re a pirate and you know it, swab the deck (swish, swish).
If you’re a pirate and you know it, say ahoy, Ahoy! (with arm movement),
if you’re a pirate and you know it, say ahoy, Ahoy! (with arm movement),
if you’re a pirate and you know it, and you really want to show it,
if you’re a pirate and you know it, say ahoy, Ahoy! (with arm movement).

NURSERY SMILE
I’ve got something in my pocket,
it belongs across my face,
I keep it very close to me,
in the most convenient place,
I know you’ll never guess it,
though you will try a long, long while.
So I’ll take it out and put it on,
it’s my great big nursery smile.
