Big Ship Little Ship

Living in a car isn't very yarr
Living in a home would chill me to the bone
Living up a tree is not the life for me
But living on a ship, yeah, that'd do the trick
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land
Big ship, little ship!
Big ship, little ship, cardboard box!
Living in a lighthouse, that'd be a shite house
Living in shed would make me feel dead
Living in a city would be really shitty
But living in a boat would float my boat
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land
Big ship, little ship!
Big ship, little ship, cardboard box!
