little boat

Malvina Reynolds

There was a little boat sailed down the river,
Cum peedle um pum pump a day,
There was a little boat sailed down the river,
Cum peedle um pum pump a day,
There was a little boat sailed down the river,
Hull was a cup and sail was a feather,
Cum peedle ump pump pay.

There was a little captain at the rudder,
Cum peedle um pum pump a day,
There was a little captain at the rudder,
Cum peedle um pum pump a day,
There was a little captain at the rudder,
Stoked his engine on bread and butter,
Cum peedle ump pump pay.

When he came to the open water,
Cum peedle um pum pump a day,
When he came to the open water,
Cum peedle um pum pump a day,
When he came to the open water,
He waved his hat to the fisherman's daughter,
Cum peedle ump pump pay.
