| Notes: | Counting song-each verse pairs an age (one to five) with a matching action (drum, buckle shoe, slap knee, knock on door, dive), followed by the same pirate ship chorus. Great for younger scouts. |
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 and back ways, 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,
We're going this way that way forwards and back ways, over the Irish Sea!
A bottle of rum to fill my tum, and that's the life for me!
When I was three I slapped my knee 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 and back ways, over the Irish Sea!
A bottle of rum to fill my tum, and that's the life for me!
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,
We're going this way that way forwards and back ways, over the Irish Sea!
A bottle of rum to fill my tum, and that's the life for me!
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,
We're going this way that way forwards and back ways, over the Irish Sea!
A bottle of rum to fill my tum, and that's the life for me!
