Joe-

The version that was transcribed from Bogart's singing, in the DT, is almost totally the same as what Ed McCurdy sang as Cool Beans has pointed out above.

About the only line that appears different is:

"And his little boat went wibble-wobble and overboard SPRANG he."

which McCurdy sings as:

"And his little boat went wibble-wobble and overboard went he."

I was always slightly puzzled by the sailing "out" of Pimblico (or however it's spelled) only to "arrive" there later on.

Cheerily,
