Once In Silly Land Lyrics

Oh around and around went the jolly, jolly ship
Oh around and around went she
Oh around and around went the jolly, jolly ship
Till she sank to the bottom of the sea

“Pull her up, Pull her up” said the captain of the ship
“Pull her up, Pull her up” said she
“Pull her up, Pull her up” said the captain of the ship
Till she pops to the top of the sea!
