The Pirate Song

Children sit on a large mat while the teacher sings and rocks the boat, gradually getting into rougher seas!

When I was one, I sucked my thumb

The day I went to sea.

I jumped upon a pirate ship & the captain said to me:

We’re going this way, that way, over the Irish Sea.

A bottle of rum to settle my tum & that’s the life for me.

When I was two I married my shoe…

The day I went to sea.

I jumped upon a pirate ship & the captain said to me:

We’re going this way, that way, over the Irish Sea.

A bottle of rum to settle my tum & that’s the life for me

When I was three I hugged a tree…

The day I went to sea.

I jumped upon a pirate ship & the captain said to me:

We’re going this way, that way, over the Irish Sea.

A bottle of rum to settle my tum & that’s the life for me…

that’s the life for me… that’s the life for me…
