quot An Unqualified Pilot quot	A
	-
	-
Once a pair of savages found a stranded tree	B
One piecee stick pidgin two piecee man	C
Straddle um paddle um push um off to sea	B
That way Foleign Debbil boat began	C
But before and before and ever so long before	D
Any shape of sailing craft was known	E
The Junk and Dhow had a stern and a bow	F
And a mast and a sail of their own ahoy alone	E
As they crashed across the Oceans on their own	E
	-
Once there was a pirate ship being blown ashore	D
Plitty soon pilum up s'posee no can tack	G
Seven piecee stlong man pullum sta'boa'd oar	D
That way bling her head alound and sail o back	G
But before and before an ever so long before	D
Grand Commander Noah took the wheel	H
The Junk and the Dhow though they look like anyhow	F
Had rudders reaching deep below their keel ahoy akeel	H
As they laid the Eastern Seas beneath their keel	H
	-
Once there was galliot yawing in a tide	A
Too much foolee side slip How can stop	I
Man catchee tea box lid lasha longaside	A
That way make her plenty glip and sail first chop	I
But before and before and ever so long before	D
And such contrivances were used	A
The whole Confucian sea board had standardized the lee board	A
And hauled it up or dropped it as they choosed or chose or	D
chused	A
According to the weather when they cruised	A
	-
Once there was a caravel in a beam sea roll	H
Ca'qo shiftee alla dliftee no can livee long	J
S'posum' nail o boa'd acloss makee ploper hol'	H
That way ca'qo sittum still an' ship mo' stlong	J
But before and before and ever so long before	D
Any square rigged vessel hove in sight	A
The Canton deep sea craft carried bulkheads fore and aft	A
And took good care to keep 'em water tight atite atite	A
From Amboyna to the Great Australian Bight	A
	-
Once there was a sailor man singing just this way	K
Too muchee yowl o sickum best flend	A
Singee all same pullee lope haul and belay	H
Hully up and coilum down an' bite off end	A
But before and before and ever so long before	D
Any sort of chanty crossed our lips	L
The Junk and the Dhow though they look like anyhow	F
Were the Mother and the Father of all Ships ahoy a'ships	L
And of half the new inventions in our Ships	L
From Tarifa to Formosa in our Ships	L
From Socotra to Selankhor of the windlass and the anchor	M
And the Navigators Compass in our Ships ahoy our Ships	L
O hully up and coilum down and bite off end	A
