The Sailor’s Hornpipe / The Caucus Race lyrics
by Lewis Carroll
Oh, a sailor's life is
The life for me
How I love to sail o'er
The bounding sea
And I never, never
Ever do a thing about the weather
For the weather never
Ever does a thing for me!
Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me
Tiddle-ee-um pom pom
Deedle dum dum dee
And I never......
Forward, backward, inward, outward
Come and join the chase
Nothing could be drier
Than a jolly caucus race
Backward, forward, outward, inward
Bottom to the top
Never a beginning
There can never be a stop
To skipping, hopping, tripping fancy free and gay
Started it tomorrow
But will finish yesterday
