Text
- Needles and pins,
- Needles and pins,
- Sew me a sail
- To catch me the wind.
- Sew me a sail
- Strong as the gale,
- Carpenter, bring out your
- Hammers and nails.
- Hammers and nails,
- Hammers and nails,
- Build me a boat
- To go chasing the whales.
- Chasing the whales,
- Sailing the blue
- Find me a captain
- And sign me a crew.
- Captain and crew,
- Captain and crew,
- Take me, oh take me
- To anywhere new.
