Sing Along to When I was One - Pirate song with the Lyrics:

“Sqwark Pieces of eight pieces of eight”
When I was one I tickled my tum
Tickle Tickle
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a Pirate Ship and the Captain said to me
We’re going this way that way forwards and backwards
Over the Irish Sea
Up and Down, round and round, a Pirate’s life for me

1,2
When I was two I played peek a boo
Boo. “Boo”
The day I went to sea.
I jumped a board a Pirate Ship and the Captain said to me
We’re going this way that way forwards and backwards
Over the Irish Sea
Up and Down, round and round, a Pirate’s life for me

1,2,3
When I was three I scraped my knee
Oo “Oo that looks sore. Kiss it better “
The day I went to sea.
I jumped a board a Pirate Ship and the Captain said to me
We’re going this way that way forwards and backwards
Over the Irish Sea
Up and Down, round and round, a Pirate’s life for m

1, 1, 2, 2,3,4, 4
When I was four, I stamped on the floor
Stamp stamp stamp stamp stamp stamp
The day I went to sea.
I jumped a board a Pirate Ship and the Captain said to me
We’re going this way that way forwards and backwards
Over the Irish Sea
Up and Down, round and round, a Pirate’s life for me

1,2,3,4,5
When I was five, I said “High Five”
“High Five give me five”
The day I went to sea.
I jumped a board a Pirate Ship and the Captain said to me
We’re going “How Fast!” this way that way forwards and backwards
Over the Irish Sea
Up and Down, round and round, a Pirate’s life for me
A Argh
