When I Was One
When I was one i sat on my bum the day i went to sea
A bottle of rum to fill my tum, a pirates life for me.
We're doing this way that way
Forwards and backwards
Over the Irish sea
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A pirates life for me.
Etc....two, three, four
For as long as required

! When I was one I hurt my thumb the day I went to sea,! I climbed aboard a pirates ship and the captain said to me,! We're going this way that way forwards and backwards over the deep blue 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...! When I was three I hurt my knee the day I went to sea...! When I was four I fell on the floor the day I went to sea...! When I was five I learnt to dive the day I went to sea...! When I was six I picked up sticks the day I went to sea...! When I was seven I looked up at heaven the day I went to sea...! When I was eight I closed the gate the day I went to sea...! When I was nine I met a porcupine the day I went to sea...! When I was ten I made a den the day I went to sea... !
