We’re having a boating regatta,
We’ve sanded and painted our boats.
I put on so much decoration,
I sure hope that my boat still floats.
Sail on, sail on,
Sail on little sailboat, sail on, sail on.
Sail on, sail on,
Sail on little sailboat, ‘til you’ve won.
*My boat sails along the raingutter.
I blow it with all of my might.
But I can’t steer the sail or rudder,
So it bounces first left and then right,
Sail on…
*It gets to the end of the gutter,
But somebody pulled out the plug.
The water is rapidly draining,
My little boat goes down—glug, glug!
I love to row my big, blue boat,
My big, blue boat, my big, blue boat;
I love to row my big, blue boat,
Out on the deep blue sea.
*My big, blue boat has two red sails,
Two red sails, two red sails.
My big blue boat has two red sails,
Out on the deep blue sea.
*So, come for a ride on my big, blue boat,
My big, blue boat, my big, blue boat.
Come for a ride on my big, blue boat,
Out on the deep blue sea.
Here is the sea, the wavy sea,
Here is the boat, and here is me.
All the fishies down below,
Wriggle their tail and away they go.
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea,
To see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see,
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.
The first little boat went chug, chug, chug.
The second little boat went tug, tug, tug.
The third little boat went row, row, row.
The fourth little boat went ohhhh sooooo slooooooow.
Here comes the sailboat, watch it go!

On the Good Ship Lollipop,
It's a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bonbons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay!
Lemonade stands everywhere,
Crackerjack bands fill the air,
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar!
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devil's food cake.
If you eat too much, ooh, ooh –
You'll awake with a tummy ache!
On the Good Ship Lollipop,
It's a night trip, into bed you hop
And dream away
On the Good Ship Lollipop!
One fat sailor called the crew,
Next came sailor, number 2,
Number 3 was as tall as the mast,
Number 4 came running fast.
Number 5 was not too tall
But he was captain of them all.
He called 6, 7. and 8,
9, and 10 came a little late.
All hands on deck, the captain said.
Hoist the anchor, full steam ahead!
