  Way Over The Irish Sea
When I was one, I had just begun
The day I went to sea
I climbed aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
"We'll go this way, that way, forward and back
Way over the Irish Sea
A bottle of Coke to soothe my throat
And that's the life for me

Da, da, dum; da, da, dum . . 
When I was two, I tied my shoe . . 
When I was three, I bumped my knee . . 
When I was four, I shut the door . . 
When I was five, I was still alive . . 
When I was six, I gathered sticks . . 
When I was seven, I was almost in heaven . . 
When I was eight, I closed the gate . .
When I was nine, I was feeling fine . . 
When I was ten, I started over again . . 

Suggested motions:
"...climbed aboard..." as if climbing up the side of a ship 
"...the captain said..." give salute
"We'll go..." bend at the waist; first left, right, forward, and
back
"...over the Irish Sea." make waves with hand
"...bottle of coke..." as if chugging a soft drink 
"...to soothe my throat..." touch throat with hand
"...that's the life..." slap knee and raise hand 
"...da, da, dum..." step forward, step back

 

Campfire songbooks, CDs and so on. Scouting stuff also. From Amazon.

(Amazon also has 'Pre-Owned' books and stuff. Sometimes, they're a lot cheaper than new, and a great way to build a decent inexpensive reference library.)
