The Sailor’s Hornpipe / The Caucus Race

Lyrics

Oh, a sailor's life is The life for me How I love to sail o'er The bounding sea And I never, never Ever do a thing about the weather For the weather never Ever does a thing for me! Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me Tiddle-ee-um pom pom Deedle dum dum dee And I never...... Forward, backward, inward, outward Come and join the chase Nothing could be drier Than a jolly caucus race Backward, forward, outward, inward Bottom to the top Never a beginning There can never be a stop To skipping, hopping, tripping fancy free and gay Started it tomorrow But will finish yesterday 'Round and 'round and 'round we go Until forevermore For once we were behind But now we find we are be- Foreward, backward, inward, outward Come and joing the chase Nothing could be drier Than a jolly caucus race!
