Correction and additional verses
BTW Granny B remembered all the verses at 91 but didnt know who i was - one of the penalties of growin old

The boy stood on the burning deck
And tied his whiskers round his neck
and shouted give me half a peck
and he drunk till he was fu'

And by the time that he lay drunk
the good ship sank and then it sunk
But he climbed up an elephants trunk
and whistled for the crew

And then there was an awful thud
that froze each sailors noble blood
for someone threw a rotten spud
and knocked off the captains wig

The captain in a rage he flew
blew up the ship and sacked the crew
And they're a' daen forty days the noo
for playin at bunnetty tig
