PRINCESS PAT a repeat after me song |
The Princess Pat's Light Infantry They sailed across the seven seas They sailed across the channel too And they took with them, the Rickadandoo. CHORUS: The Rickadandoo, now what is that? It's something made by the Princess Pat It's red and gold, and purple too, That's why it's called, the Rickadandoo. Now Captain Jack, had a mightily fine crew, They sailed across the channel too, But his ship sank, and yours will too, If you don't take the Rickadandoo. The Princess Pat, saw Captain Jack, She reeled him in, and brought him back, She saved his life, and his crew's too, And do you know how?-with the Rickadandoo. optional "camp-style" verse: Now Captain Kirk He was no jerk And Mr. Spock He was no jock But their ship flew And yours will too If you just take A Rickadando |
