《A Sailor Went to Sea》的歌詞如下：
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To seek a roving round, round, round
And what did he find there?
Found a roving round, round, round
A whirlpool with a frown, brow, brow
Oh, the whirlpool did roar, roar, roar
And the sailor said "Oh, dear, dear, dear"
He'd never sail around here around, around
Oh, the sailor cried "Oh, dear!"
He turned to run and find
The biggest ship in the world
The ocean liner "Flying Dutchman"
It was on the way to town, town, town
And he leaped upon with glee, ewe, ewe
Oh, the people they did shout, shout, shout
When they saw the sailor boy, boy, boy
And he waved his hat and said "Hello"
Hello, hello to all
And then he said "I'll do my dance"
Dance, dance on the deck
And he danced and danced and danced and danced
Till he fell into a dream, eeeeee!
So there you are on the big wide open sea
With a whirlpool in your way to keep you company
So don't you fret 'cause you're not alone
You've got your Dutchman to go with you home!
