out in the sea where nobody goes
theres a pirate washing his clothes
with a rub a dub dub here
and a rub a dub dub there
thats the way he washes his clothes

out in the sea where nobody goes
theres a pirate steering a boat
with a steer steer here
and a steer steer there
thats the way he steers the boat

out in the sea where nobody goes
theres a pirate picking his nose
with a pick flick pick here
and a pick flick pick there
thats the way he picks his nose

were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

uh ho! a river a cold deep river
we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no! weve got to go through it
splish splosh plish splosh splish splosh

were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

uh oh! a jungle
a dark gloomy jungle
we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no! weve got to go through it
stumble trip stumble trip stumble trip

were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

uh oh a sand storm
a swerling werling sand storm
we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no! weve got to go through it
whooo hooo whooo hooo

were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

uh ho! a cave
a sparkly shiny treasure cave
we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no we have to go through it
tip toe tip toe tip toe

one wooden leg
two beedy eyes
oh no its a pirate!

quick back through the cave
tip toe tip toe tip toe
back through the sand storm
whoo hoo whoo hooo
back through the jungle
stumble trip stumble trip
back through the river
splish splosh splish splosh

get to the house open the door!
up the stairs
oh no forgot to shut the door
back down the stairs
shut the door
up the stairs
into bed
under the covers
(sigh) were never going on a treasure hunt again

when I was 1 I had some fun the day I went to sea,
I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me,
we go this way that way forwards and backwards over the deep blue sea,
a bottle of rum to fill my tum its a pirates life for me!

when I was 2, I lost my shoe the day I went to sea,[repeat the rest of above!] and continue making rhymes to numbers as high as you want to go!
