Transcript

Captain Tom had a very big boat,
What a big boat, had he.
But Captain Tom had an empty boat,
Empty as can be.
Captain Tom had a great idea,
What an idea, had he.
Captain Tom would fill his boat,
With animal friends, you see.

Two tigers tiptoe on,
T, t, t, t.
Two turtles tiptoe on,
T, t, t, t.
Two tabby cats tiptoe on,
T, t, t, t.
Two toucans tiptoe on,
T, t, t, t.

Captain Tom had a very full boat,
And it began to tip. Tip, tip, tip, tip.
He told the animals to get off,
Hurry now, be quick.

Two tigers tiptoe off,
T, t, t, t, t, t, t.
Two turtles tiptoe off,
T, t, t, t, t, t, t.
Two tabby cats tiptoe off,
T, t, t, t, t, t, t.
Two toucans tiptoe off,
T, t, t, t, t, t, t.

Captain Tom had a very big boat,
What a big boat, had he.
But Captain Tom had an empty boat,
Empty as can be.
