This is the version our father [Camden Road London Scouts] taught us: Sammy was a sailor, a sailor big and bold Shipped aboard a whaler and tumbled overboard. He shouted someone save me, but someone said go hang, The sharks are swimming round you so his shipmates sang: Oh! Swim Sam swim Sam swim Sam, show them Sam you're a swimmer Swim like a snow white swan, Sam you know how a snow white swan swims, Six sharks shivering sharks, are going to snap your limb, So a swim well swam is a well swum swim, So swim Sam swim Sam Swim!
