A sailor went to sea, sea, seapd

A fun nonsense song that could turn into a great handclapping game.

Song Lyrics View: Normal

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.


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


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


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