They went to sea in a sieve, they did
in a sieve they went to sea:
in spite of all their friends could say,
on a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a sieve they went to sea!
And when the sieve turned round and round,
and every one cried, "You'll all be drwoned!"
they called alound, "our Sieve ain't big,
"But we don't care a button! we don't care a fig!
"in a sieve we'll go to sea!"
Far and Few, far and few
are the lands where the jumblies live;
their heads are green, and their hands blue,
and they went to sea in a sieve.
They sailed away in a sieve, they did,
in a sieve they sailed so fast,
with only a beautiful pea-green veil
