Oh! the King of Kanoodledum / And the King of Kanoodledee, / They went to sea / In a jigamaree -- / A full-rigged jigamaree.
And one king couldn't steer, / And the other, no more could he; / So they both upset / And they both got wet, / As wet as wet could be.
And one king couldn't swim / And the other, he couldn't, too; / So they had to float, / While their empty boat / Danced away o'er the sea so blue.
Then the King of Kanoodledum / He turned a trifle pale, / And so did he / Of Kanoodledee, / But they saw a passing sail!
And one king screamed like fun / And the other king screeched like mad, / And a boat was lowered / And took them aboard; / And, my! but those kings were glad!
