BY IRVING BACHELLER.
Jack Tot is as big as a baby's thumb,
And his belly can hold but a drop and a crumb,
And a wee little sailor is he.
Heigh ho!
A very fine sailor is he.
He made his boat of a cocoanut shell;
He sails her at night, and he steers her well
With the wing of a bumblebee.
Heigh ho!
The wing of a bumblebee.
She is rigged with the hair of a lady's curl,
And her lantern is made of a gleaming pearl,
And it never goes out in a gale.
Heigh ho!
It never goes out in a gale.
