The Sailor's Hornpipe / The Caucus Race
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.
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.
