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
And I...
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
I started it tomorrow
but I'll finish yesterday!
Round and round and round we go
Until forevermore,
Once we were behind
But now we find we are be-
Forward, backward, inward, outward,
Come and join the chase!
Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race!
