The Princess Pat.....lived in a tree....
She sailed across......The Seven seas....
She sailed across....the channel too....
And brought with her..... A rig-a bamboo....
A rig-a bamboo....Now what is that??....
It's something made.....by Princess Pat...
It's red and gold.....and purple too.......
That's why it's called.....A rig-a bamboo....

Now Captain Jack.....had a mighty fine crew...
They sailed across...the channel too.....
but his ship sank....and yours will too.....
If you don't bring....a rig-a bamboo....
A rig-a bamboo....now what is that??...
It's something made.....by the Princess Pat....
It's red and gold....and purple too....
That's why it's called.....a rig-a bamboo....
