When I was one I sucked my thumb

When I was ONE I sucked my thumb,
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 backwards,
Over the Irish Sea,
We`re going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
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 backwards,
Over the Irish Sea,
We`re going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
That`s the life for me!

When I was THREE I bashed 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 backwards,
Over the Irish Sea,
We`re going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
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 backwards,
Over the Irish Sea,
We`re going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
That`s the life for me!

When I was FIVE I learnt 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 backwards,
Over the Irish Sea,
We`re going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
That`s the life for me!
