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)
I SWEAR TO GOD!!!! I MISS CAMP SO MUCH AND IT IS LITERALLY THE 2ED WEEK OF SCHOOL!!!! I AM BINGING CAMP SONGS TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE FACT NO SCOUTS NEAR ME KNOW ANY CAMP SONGS OR GO TO CAMP! I MISS CAMP!!!! 😱😱😱😱
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
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.
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 sing When i was one i sucked my thumb swimming in the irish sea i jumped on board a pirate ship and the captain said to me were going this way that way backward forwards swimming in the irish sea a bottle of rum to fill my tum and thats the end of me 😂
One Reminder , fix the skit it’s not right you have to do the dance to the best part” we go this way that way forward backwards” part no offense just a reminder
I remember singing this in camp with the boy scouts and the other girl scouts:,))))))
cool
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.
Thank you ladies, I was looking everywhere for this song's lyrics & tune, PLEASE DO MORE GS SONGS! :)
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)
Thaaannkkksssssss
So funny how regional lyrics change. I was taught 'North, South, East, West, across the Irish sea!' Australia
My 3 year old son is feeding tube dependent and loves pirates. I sing him this song sometimes and he loves it!
Even though this is longer then other ones, this is my favorite one.
That's the point!!!

thats so good thats the best to me
i learned it as a bottle of coke to sooth my throat and thats the life for me
At school we did it WAY different.
Isn't it meat to me a bottle of rum?....
That's what I thought.
Ebony Earp-Mawson yes but they changed it after the parents complained
Now its "A bottle of coke to smooth my throat and that's the life for me"
ye that is what i grow up with
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
Couldn't agree more!
A juicy plum sounds stupid.
we always said "a stuck of gum to warm my rum"
5Pip I thought the same
Because rum would be too grown-up 😂
5Pip we say a seven up to fill me up!
Finally I found a pirate song!! My camp name is Pirate Pete so I'm going to defiantly teach the girls this (;
At school when I did this it wasn’t doing I tired my shoe
❤
Why am I here.
Nothing wrong with rum after all that's what pirates drink!!!!
It's hardly encouraging Alcoholism in our youth is it?!
Why is everyone triggered over how it's a plum instead of rum?
right
I am a girl scout but knoy nine is I picked up a dime
we said "bottle of coke to soothe my throat" 8)

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 :/
