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.
Sung to hand-clapping. In successive repeats, the words in italics are replaced by chop, chop, chop —knee, knee, knee—toe, toe, toe—and the singer claps appropriate parts of the body.
