[00:00.00] 作曲 : Natalie Merchant

[00:09.78] A capital ship for an ocean trip
[00:11.67] Was “The Walloping Window Blind;"
[00:13.86] No gale that blew dismayed her crew
[00:16.08] Or troubled the captain’s mind
[00:18.03] The man at the wheel was taught to feel
[00:20.13] Contempt for the wildest blow
[00:22.20] And it often appeared, when the weather had cleared
[00:24.24] That he'd been in his bunk below
[00:35.85] The boatswain's mate was very sedate
[00:37.92] Yet fond of amusement, too
[00:39.99] And he played hop-scotch with the starboard watch
[00:41.97] While the captain tickled the crew
[00:45.03] And the gunner we had was apparently mad
[00:47.25] For he sat on the after-rail
[00:49.47] And fired salutes with the captain's boots
[00:51.39] In the teeth of the booming gale
[00:56.67] The captain sat in a commodore's hat
[00:58.86] And dined, in a royal way
[01:00.78] On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
[01:03.00] And gummery bread, each day
[01:04.95] But the rest of us ate from an odious plate
[01:07.08] For the food that was given the crew
[01:09.21] Was a number of tons of hot-cross buns
[01:11.31] Chopped up with sugar and glue
[01:22.68] And we all felt ill as mariners will
[01:24.84] On a diet that's cheap and rude
[01:26.94] And the deck shook when we dipped the cook
[01:28.95] In a tub of his gluesome food
[01:36.30] Then nautical pride we laid aside
[01:38.49] And we cast the vessel ashore
[01:40.44] On the Gulliby Isles, where the Poohpooh smiles
[01:43.20] And the Anagazanders roar
[02:06.03] Composed of sand was that favored land
[02:09.30] And trimmed with cinnamon straws
[02:11.73] And pink and blue was the pleasing hue
[02:14.46] Of the Tickletoeteaser’s claws
[02:19.38] And we sat on the edge of a sandy ledge
[02:21.54] And shot at the whistling bee
[02:23.61] And the Binnacle-bats wore water-proof hats
[02:25.56] As they danced in the sounding sea
[02:30.93] On rubagub bark, from dawn to dark
[02:33.03] We fed, till we all had grown
[02:34.98] Uncommonly shrunk—when a Chinese junk
[02:37.11] Came by from the torriby zone
[02:41.91] She was stubby and square, but we didn't much care
[02:44.37] And we cheerily put to sea
[02:46.56] And we left the crew of the junk to chew
[02:48.66] The bark of the rubagub tree
