[Verse 1]
   Em                   G
My bed is like a little boat
      D                    Em
Nurse helps me in when I embark
    C              G        Em
She girds me in my sailor's coat 
    C                D
And starts me in the dark


[Verse 2]
   Em            G
At night I go on board and say 
    D                          Em
Goodnight to all my friends on shore
  C                Em
I shut my eyes and sail away 
    C               D
And see and hear no more


[Verse 3]
    Em                  G
And sometimes things to bed I take
    D                      Em
As prudent sailors have to do
   C               G       Em
Perhaps a slice of wedding cake
   C             D
Perhaps a toy or two

[Verse 4]
    Em               G
All night across the dark we steer
    D                       Em
But when the day returns at last
C                 G        Em
Safe in my room beside the pier
  C              D  G
I find my vessel fast
