A capital ship for an ocean trip |
| [00:11.67] |
Was “The Walloping Window Blind;" |
| [00:13.86] |
No gale that blew dismayed her crew |
| [00:16.08] |
Or troubled the captain’s mind |
| [00:18.03] |
The man at the wheel was taught to feel |
| [00:20.13] |
Contempt for the wildest blow |
| [00:22.20] |
And it often appeared, when the weather had cleared |
| [00:24.24] |
That he'd been in his bunk below |
| [00:35.85] |
The boatswain's mate was very sedate |
| [00:37.92] |
Yet fond of amusement, too |
| [00:39.99] |
And he played hop-scotch with the starboard watch |
| [00:41.97] |
While the captain tickled the crew |
| [00:45.03] |
And the gunner we had was apparently mad |
| [00:47.25] |
For he sat on the after-rail |
| [00:49.47] |
And fired salutes with the captain's boots |
| [00:51.39] |
In the teeth of the booming gale |
| [00:56.67] |
The captain sat in a commodore's hat |
| [00:58.86] |
And dined, in a royal way |
| [01:00.78] |
On toasted pigs and pickles and figs |
| [01:03.00] |
And gummery bread, each day |
| [01:04.95] |
But the rest of us ate from an odious plate |
| [01:07.08] |
For the food that was given the crew |
| [01:09.21] |
Was a number of tons of hot-cross buns |
| [01:11.31] |
Chopped up with sugar and glue |
| [01:22.68] |
And we all felt ill as mariners will |
| [01:24.84] |
On a diet that's cheap and rude |
| [01:26.94] |
And the deck shook when we dipped the cook |
| [01:28.95] |
In a tub of his gluesome food |
| [01:36.30] |
Then nautical pride we laid aside |
| [01:38.49] |
And we cast the vessel ashore |
| [01:40.44] |
On the Gulliby Isles, where the Poohpooh smiles |
| [01:43.20] |
And the Anagazanders roar |
| [02:06.03] |
Composed of sand was that favored land |
| [02:09.30] |
And trimmed with cinnamon straws |
| [02:11.73] |
And pink and blue was the pleasing hue |
| [02:14.46] |
Of the Tickletoeteaser’s claws |
| [02:19.38] |
And we sat on the edge of a sandy ledge |
| [02:21.54] |
And shot at the whistling bee |
| [02:23.61] |
And the Binnacle-bats wore water-proof hats |
| [02:25.56] |
As they danced in the sounding sea |
| [02:30.93] |
On rubagub bark, from dawn to dark |
| [02:33.03] |
We fed, till we all had grown |
| [02:34.98] |
Uncommonly shrunk—when a Chinese junk |
| [02:37.11] |
Came by from the torriby zone |
| [02:41.91] |
She was stubby and square, but we didn't much care |
| [02:44.37] |
And we cheerily put to sea |
| [02:46.56] |
And we left the crew of the junk to chew |
| [02:48.66] |
The bark of the rubagub tree |
| [04:12.12] |
