I saw a ship a-sailing
A-sailing on the sea
And oh but it was laden
With lovely things for me
There were chocolates in the cabin
And ice cream in the hold
The sails were made of candyfloss
And the masts were all of gold
The four-and-twenty sailors,
That stood between the decks
Were four-and-twenty white mice
With ribbons round their necks
The captain was a duck
With a parrot on his back
And when the mice were naughty
The captain said Quack! Quack!
