lyrics

Once I had a little boat, such a pretty little boat
just as the day was dawning
So I took my little oar and I pushed off from the shore
so very, very early in the morning

And every little wave would have its whitecap on
whitecap, nightcap, whitecap on
Yes, every little wave would have its whitecap on
So very, very early in the morning

In their cave so dark and deep, all the fishes were asleep
except where a ripple gave warning
Said the whiting to the pike, have you ever seen the like
so very, very early in the morning?

And every little wave would have its whitecap on
whitecap, nightcap, whitecap on
Yes, every little wave would have its whitecap on
So very, very early in the morning

Said the sturgeon to the eel, "Just imagine how I feel -
excuse me, dear, for yawning -
People ought to let us know when a-sailing they will go
so very, very early in the morning."

And every little wave would have its whitecap on
whitecap, nightcap, whitecap on
Yes, every little wave would have its whitecap on
So very, very early in the morning
