Текст песни: The Sailor's Hornpipe / The Caucus Race + перевод

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…

All: 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

Dodo: To skipping, hopping, tripping, clopping

Fancy free and gay,

I started it tomorrow,

but I’ll finish yesterday.

All: Round and round and round we go

And dance forevermore,

Once we were behind

But now we find we are be-

Dodo: Forward, backward, inward, outward,

Come and join the chase!

All: Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race.
