Two years ago when I was young
I fell into the ocean with my love;
Yadde, ya, ya.
We broke our fall with rusty richies
And our scummy, tattered wishes;
Ladde, la, la.
In the drip, I kissed her good-bye
With my saddened eyes: she did cry!
Yadde, ya, ya.
O the sea howled and laughed --
And beguiled all our while!
I fell into the ocean with my love;
Yadde, ya, ya.
We broke our fall with rusty richies
And our scummy, tattered wishes;
Ladde, la, la.
In the drip, I kissed her good-bye
With my saddened eyes: she did cry!
Yadde, ya, ya.
O the sea howled and laughed --
And beguiled all our while!
