Lyman and Frederick and Jim, one day, / Set out in a great big ship -- / Steamed to the ocean down to the bay / Out of a New York slip. / "Where are you going and what is your game? " / The people asked to those three. / "Darned, if we know; but all the same / Happy as larks are we; / And happier still we're going to be! " / Said Lyman / And Frederick / And Jim.
The people laughed "Aha, oho! / Oho, aha! " laughed they; / And while those three went sailing so / Some pirates steered that way.
