When I was one, I swallowed a bun, going over the sea.
I jumped aboard a sailor ship and the sailor said to me.
Going over, going under, stand at attention, like a soldier
With a one, two, three.

When I was two, I tied my shoe, going over the sea...

When I was three, I climbed a tree, going over the sea...

When I was four, I shut the door, going over the sea...

When I was five, I danced the jive, going over the sea...

When I was six, I picked up sticks, going over the sea...

When I was seven, I counted to eleven, going over the sea...

When I was eight, I learned to skate, going over the sea...

When I was nine, I towed the line, going over the sea...

When I was ten, I started again, going over the sea...
