The Princess Pat lived in a tree.
She sailed across the seven seas
She sailed across the Channel too
And brought with her, a rickabamboo!
Chorus: A rickabamboo, now what is that?
It's something made by the Princess Pat
It's red and gold, and purple too
And that's why it's called a rickabamboo!
Now the captain jack had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across the Channel, too.
Their ship did sink, and so will you
If you don't bring a rickabamboo!
Chorus (repeat)
