Was the Walloping Window Blind;
No gale that blew dismayed her crew
Or troubled the captain's mind.

When the "Piccadilly Daisy"
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed 'em;
For they never, never found 'em,
And I know they didn't come ashore with me.

And the Rumbletum bunders roar.

Yet fond of amusement, too;
And he played hopscotch with the starboard watch,
While the captain tickled the crew.

And dined in a royal way
On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
And gummery bread each day.

And I'm really very fond of beetle-pie.
