When I was one I ate a bun,
Going over the sea.
I jumped aboard the sailorman’s ship,
The sailorman said to me :
“Going over, going under,
Stand at attention like a soldier
With a one, two, three !
When I was two I buckled my shoe...
When I was three I banged my knee...
When I was four I shut the door...
When I was five I learned to jive...
When I was six I picked up sticks...
When I was seven I went to heaven...
When I was eight I learned to skate...
When I was nine I climbed a vine...
When I was ten I caught a hen...
