Eight bells and all is well,
out goes the nurs'ry light;
we're all at the railing
for baby is sailing,
sailing for dreamland tonight.

Ship Ahoy my little skipper,
it's time to sail for blanket bay,
climb aboard your baby clipper
but don't you drift too far away.
At the foot of your bed
is your faithful little crew,
it's your own puppy dog
keeping watch the whole night through,
sail away my little skipper,
but don't forget to sail back home.

Ship Ahoy my little skipper,
it's time to sail for blanket bay,
climb aboard your baby clipper
but don't you drift too far away.
At the foot of your bed
is your faithful little crew,
it's your own puppy dog
keeping watch the whole night through,
sail away my little skipper,
but don't forget to sail back home.

Sleep dear, and have no fear,
all your long journey through
for while you are sleeping
the stars will be peeping,
keeping a watch over you.

Ship Ahoy my little skipper,
it's time to sail for blanket bay,
climb aboard your baby clipper
but don't you drift too far away.
At the foot of your bed
is your faithful little crew,
it's your own puppy dog
keeping watch the whole night through,
sail away my little skipper,
but don't forget to sail back home.

Ship Ahoy my little skipper,
it's time to sail for blanket bay,

but don't you drift too far away.
At the foot of your bed
is your faithful little crew,
it's your own puppy dog
keeping watch the whole night through,
sail away my little skipper,
but don't forget to sail back home.
