A CAPITAL SHIP
A capital ship for an ocean trip was the Walloping Window Blind.
No wind that blew dismayed her crew, or troubled the Captain's mind.
The man at the wheel was made to feel contempt for the wildest blow-ow-ow,
Though it often appeared when the gale it cleared, he'd been in his bunk below.

CAPE ANN
We hunted and we hallooed and the best thing we found
Was a barn in the meadow and that we left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a barn, but the other he said nay.
He said it was a meetinghouse with the steeple blown away.
Look you there!

TALKING NOTHING
I looked from the hall to the top of the stair.
Didn't see a man who wasn't there,
Nothin', nothin', nothin' at all,
Nothin' at all over the wall
A predominance of vacancy.

DUNDERBUCK
Oh dunderbuck, Dunderbuck, how could you be so mean,
To ever have invented the sausage meat machine?
Now long-tailed rats and pussy cats they'll never more be seen,
They'll all be ground to sausage meat in Dunderbeck's machine.

OLD DAN TUCKER
Now old Dan Tucker's a fine old man,
Washed his face in a frying pan,
Combed his head with a wagon wheel,
And died with a toothache in his heel
CHORUS: Get out the way, old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper,
