Day, The

Song Lyrics & Words

When I was one, I sucked my thumb, the day I went to sea...

CHORUS:
I jumped aboard a sailing ship and the captain said to me,
"We're goin' this way, that way, forward, backward, over the Irish sea.
With a bottle of Coke, and that's no joke, and that's the life for me", said he.

When I was two, I buckled my shoe, the day I went to sea...
[CHORUS]
When I was three, I scraped my knee, the day I went to sea...
[CHORUS]
When I was four, I slammed the door, the day I went to sea...
[CHORUS]
When I was five, I danced a jive, the day I went to sea...
[CHORUS]
When I was six, I picked up sticks, the day I went to sea...
[CHORUS]
When I was seven, I counted to eleven, the day I went to sea...
[CHORUS]
When I was eight, I was really late, the day I went to sea...
[CHORUS]
When I was nine I got in line, the day I went to sea...

[CHORUS]

When I was ten, I did it again, the day I went to sea...

[CHORUS]

This is a great song! I've also heard the verse as: I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me, "We're goin' this way, that, forward, backwards, Over the Irish Sea, A juicy plum to warm my tum, and that's the life for me!"
