She wished to a boat she could switch
And sail all the seas

Well equipped and ready to go

A nice ship is waiting below
Well equipped and waiting to go
With a good captain

A nice ship is waiting below
Well equipped and waiting to go
With a good captain
Who is not a pain

A nice ship is waiting below
Well equipped and waiting to go
With a good captain
Who is not a pain
And a crew shouting, "Matey! Heave ho!"

He's now in the jail in our town

And one day his shorts fell fight down,
He's now in the jail in the town
His crew bailed him out

And one day his shorts fell right down,
He's now in the jail in the town
His crew bailed him out
But all rules he'll flout,

I don't want to frighten you but
There are flames coming from that hut

There are flames coming from that hut
Let's run outside
