We used to sing this song at primary shool in the 1950s in Horsham Sussex.   The words we sang were...

I've been to Harlem, I've been to Dover
I've travelled this wide world all over, over,
Drink what you have to drink & turn the glases over

Sailing east, sailing west
Sailing over the ocean
Better watch out when the boat begins to rock
..........in the ocean
