I saw a ship a-sailing,

A-sailing on the sea;

And it was full of pretty things

For baby and for me.

There were sweetmeats in the cabin,

And apples in the hold;

The sails were made of silk,

And the masts were made of gold.

The four-and-twenty sailors

That stood between the decks,

Were four-and-twenty white mice,

With chains about their necks.

The captain was a duck,

With a packet on his back;

And when the ship began to move,

The captain cried, “Quack, quack!”
