We built a ship upon the stairs
All made of the back-bedroom chairs,
And filled it full of sofa pillows
To go a-sailing on the billows [1] .
We took a saw and several nails,
And water in the nursery pails [2] ;
And Tom said, ‘Let us also take
An apple and a slice of cake';
Which was enough for Tom and me
To go a-sailing on, till tea.
We sailed along for days and days,
And had the very best of plays;
But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,
So there was no one left but me.
