A SAILOR WENT TO SEA, hand clapping game

A SAILOR WENT TO SEA

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea,

To see what he could see, see, see.

But all that he could see, see, see,

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea,

To see what he could see, see, see.

But all that he could see, see, see,

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

Oh, Helen had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
When Helen went to heaven
The steamboat went to hell

Ask me for a muffin
I'll give you some old bread
And if you do not like it
Just go and soak your head

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea
