And every time he'd blow a spray
He'd send it in a shower
"Oh now" says Jack unto himself
I must see what he's about
He caught the whale by the tail, and turned him inside out
Jack was every inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was every inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright blue sea
When Jack grew up to be a man
He went to Labrador
He fished in Indian Harbour where his father fished before
On his returning in the fog, he met a heavy gale
And Jack was swept into the sea, and swallowed by a whale
The whale went straight for Baffin Bay, about ninty knots an hour
And every time he'd blow a spray
He'd send it in a shower
"Oh now" says Jack unto himself
I must see what he's about
He caught the whale by the tail, and turned him inside out
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is spinning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Tho' I've been from Maine to Mexico
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Saki rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is good anytime of year
The second time through, replace the word, "chest" by patting the chest.
Next time, substitute a cough for the word, "cold"
Then, substitute baby-rocking arm motions for the word, "baby"
Chorus:
Chewey, ewey, ewey, ewey, etc.
And every seed that grows
Shall grow into a tree
And one day soon
There'll be apples there
For everyone in the world to share
The Lord is good to me
Pick a pick a pick a pick a
Pick a bale of cotton
Pick a pick a pick a pick a
Pick a bale a day
Actions:
Make a face mask each time you sing the words, "Junior Birdmen" by lacing your fingers.
Then, with thumbs under the chin, twist your hands outwards so that you make goggles for the eyes.
On "Upside down," perform a jet plane swoop outstretched arms.
On "Ground," bring the swooping arms as near to the ground as possible
Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe with the moon shining all around
And he paddled and he paddled so slow and easy that you couldn't even hear a sound
And they talked and they talked 'til the moon grew dim
He said, "You better kiss me or get out and swim"
So, what ya gonna do in a little canoe
With the boats floating all a . .
Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe with the moon shining all around
And he paddled and he paddled so slow and easy that you couldn't even hear a sound
And they talked and they talked 'til the moon grew dim
He said, "You better kiss me or get out and swim"
So, what ya gonna do in a little canoe
With the GIRL swimming all around
