I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea.
And, oh, but it was laden
With pretty things for thee.
There were comfits in the cabin,
And apples in the hold;
The sails were made of silk
And the masts were all of gold.
The four-and-twenty sailors
That stood between the decks,
Were four-and-twenty white mice
With chains about their necks.
With a packet on his back,
The captain said, "Quack! Quack!"

It actually ends like this:
The Captain was a duck,
with a jacket on his back;
And when the ship began to move,
the CaptaIn said "Quack! Quack!"
