Chorus: 

A sailor went to sea sea sea 
To see what he could see see see, 
But all that he could see see see 
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea. 

Oh, Helen had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell. 
When Helen went to heaven, the steamboat went to - 

Hello, operator, just give me number nine. 
If the line is busy, I'll kick your big - 

Behind the old piano, there was a piece of glass. 
Helen slipped upon it and hurt her little - 

Ask me for a muffin, I'll give you some old bread, 
And if you do not like it, just go and soak your head.
