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.
