[@stephaniebell8192]

So funny how regional lyrics change. I was taught 'North, South, East, West, across the Irish sea!' Australia

[@katherinemetherell9674]

I remember singing this in camp with the boy scouts and the other girl scouts:,))))))

[@Chaossquid567]

cool

[@larasultana7271]

WHEN I WAS ONE When I was one, I sucked my thumb (CHORUS) The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship And the captain said to me We're going this way, that way Forward, backward, over the Irish Sea A juicy plum to fiddle my tum And that's the life for me! When I was two, I tied my shoe, the day I went to sea… (chorus) When I was three, I climbed a tree, the day… (chorus) When I was four, I shut the door, (chorus) When I was five, I did a jive, (chorus) When I was six, I picked up sticks, (chorus) When I was seven, I gazed at the heavens, (chorus) When I was eight, I shut the gate, (chorus) When I was nine, I ate a lime, (chorus) When I was ten, I did it again, (chorus)

Thank you guys so much for capturing Girl Scout songs and sharing them. It’s meant so much to me, and helping me to pass them along.

[@bethellenstanley8319]

My 3 year old son is feeding tube dependent and loves pirates. I sing him this song sometimes and he loves it!

[@mainmom41007]

Thank you ladies, I was looking everywhere for this song's lyrics & tune, PLEASE DO MORE GS SONGS! :)

[@jenniferkratzer4592]

Even though this is longer then other ones, this is my favorite one.

[@katharinenoble1682]

[@lbell2008]

[@5Pip]

PLUMS??? When did a bottle of rum become a plum............................ what self respecting pirate has plums instead of rum? What are you teaching kids now a days. jeez

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Couldn't agree more! A juicy plum sounds stupid.

[@mhennessy8230]

we always said "a stuck of gum to warm my rum"

[@amylowes540]

5Pip I thought the same

[@shadowsniper6394]

Because rum would be too grown-up 😂

[@allisonschuetze]

5Pip we say a seven up to fill me up!

[@arianacrowley9217]

thats so good thats the best to me

[@ebonyearp-mawson5095]

Isn't it meat to me a bottle of rum?....

[@zosia9575]

That's what I thought.

[@chillz6822]

Ebony Earp-Mawson yes but they changed it after the parents complained

[@ellie.sstreet]

Now its "A bottle of coke to smooth my throat and that's the life for me"

[@lucyevans8934]

ye that is what i grow up with

[@Kitty-sj7ls30]

At school we did it WAY different.

[@jenniferkratzer4592]

Why is everyone triggered over how it's a plum instead of rum?

[@Chaossquid567]

right

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Nothing wrong with rum after all that's what pirates drink!!!! It's hardly encouraging Alcoholism in our youth is it?!

[@carliwickenheiser8336]

Finally I found a pirate song!! My camp name is Pirate Pete so I'm going to defiantly teach the girls this (;

[@alexannepen2740]

I remember this song , I sang this when I was at pgl but it was a bit different.when I was 1 I sucked my thumb the day I went to sea I climbed a board a pirate ship and the captain said to me we're going this way that way forwards and backwards over the Irish Sea a bottle of wine to fill my tummy and that's the life of me ta da da wush ta da da wush, when I was 2 I did a poo the day I went ....., when I was 3 I did a pee .....4 I was poor l... 5 I did the jive .... 6 I picked up sticks ..... 7 I went to Devon .....8 I ate a plate .... 9 I drank some wine ..... 10 I ate a hen l... And then we continued until our bonfire was nearly out and we had to go to sleep. So that brings back memories.😊

I am looking for lyrics of a song Girl Scouts sing in a public interest message carried by the Fox radio that by grade six girls lose interest in science.

[@AllyBing92]

Hey Girls, do you know where I can get the music for this? All of the other songs I'm finding are too slow. I need this version :/
