Colin Buchanan
That’s the Life for Me
[Intro]
G'day everyone, I'm Colin! Are you ready to tap your feet? *Tapping and shoes squeaking* Yes, and start moving to the beat? *Tapping and xylophone* Uh-huh, and stamp? *Tapping and slide whistle* Ooh, and shout? (Yaaay!) And sh-a-a-ake it all about? Yes? Well come on and sing!
[Verse 1]
When I was one, I sucked my thumb
The day I went to sea
I climbed on board a pirate ship
And the captain said to me
[Chorus]
"We're going north, south, east, west
And up the Irish sea!"
Ra-dum-dum, I rub my tum
'Cause that's the life for me!
[Verse 2]
When I was two, I tied my shoe
The day I went to sеa
I climbed on board a pirate ship
And the captain said to mе
[Chorus]
"We're going north, south, east, west
And up the Irish sea!"
Ra-dum-dum, I rub my tum
'Cause that's the life for me!
Three-
[Verse 3]
When I was three, I scraped my knee
The day I went to sea
I climbed on board a pirate ship
And the captain said to me
[Chorus]
"We're going north, south, east, west
And up the Irish sea!"
Ra-dum-dum, I rub my tum
'Cause that's the life for me!
Four-
[Verse 4]
When I was four, I shut the door!
The day I went to sea
I climbed on board a pirate ship
And the captain said to me
[Chorus]
"We're going north, south, east, west
And up the Irish sea!"
Ra-dum-dum, I rub my tum
'Cause that's the life for me!
Ooh, we're up to five!
[Verse 5]
When I was five, I did the jive
The day I went to sea
I climbed on board a pirate ship
And the captain said to me
[Chorus]
"We're going north, south, east, west
And up the Irish sea!"
Ra-dum-dum, I rub my tum
'Cause that's the life for me!
[Outro]
Har-har-har! I love being at sea! Aw Colin, sweep the deck there boy, that's it! And wash me parrot while you're there. A-har-har-har
