Unfortunately, this one I've only ever learned phonetically, which makes it almost impossible to google; the only words that I actually "know" are the last two. It went something like I, die, chickadye doney um pum pony alabala whiskey chinese junk Seems like a long shot, but has anyone ever heard anything that sounds like this? (Or any guesses about what the other words could have been? Maybe other types of boats?) |
