Adapted (by Tom Hunter?) from the book Portside Pirates, by Oscar Seaworthy, illustrated by Debbie Harter.
When I was one I had some fun hold up one finger and march in place
On the day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship, jump!
And the pirate said to me: shade eyes with hand
We go this way, that way, lean side to side, stretching with the opposite arm
Forward, backward, touch toes, then lean back
Over the deep blue sea!” make wavy motion with hands
next verses:
When I was two I tied my shoe hold up two fingers and then
lift foot and slap it with opposite hand
When I was three I climbed a tree hold up three fingers and then
pretend to climb a tree
