《When Federic Was A Little Lad》歌词

[00:00:00] When Federic Was A Little Lad - 班战斯的海盗

[00:00:05] When Frederic was a little lad

[00:00:08] He proved so brave and daring

[00:00:11] His father thought he'd 'prentice him

[00:00:14] To some career seafaring

[00:00:17] I was alas his nurserymaid

[00:00:20] And so it fell to my lot

[00:00:23] To take and bind the promising boy

[00:00:27] Apprentice to a pilot

[00:00:31] A life not bad for a hardy lad

[00:00:35] Though surely not a high lot

[00:00:39] Though I'm a nurse you might do worse

[00:00:45] Than make your boy a pilot

[00:00:53] I was a stupid nurserymaid

[00:00:56] On breakers always steering

[00:00:59] And I did not catch the word aright

[00:01:02] Through being hard of hearing

[00:01:05] Mistaking my instructions

[00:01:08] Which within my brain did gyrate

[00:01:11] I took and bound this promising boy

[00:01:16] Apprentice to a pirate

[00:01:21] A sad mistake it was to make

[00:01:25] And doom him to a vile lot

[00:01:30] I bound him to a pirate you

[00:01:36] Instead of to a pilot

[00:01:44] I soon found out beyond all doubt

[00:01:47] The scope of this disaster

[00:01:50] But I hadnt the face to return to my place

[00:01:52] And break it to my master

[00:01:55] A nurserymaid is not afraid

[00:01:58] Of what you people call work

[00:02:01] So I made up my mind to go as a kind

[00:02:04] Of piratical maid-of-all-work

[00:02:09] And that is how you find me now

[00:02:13] A member of your shy lot

[00:02:18] Which you wouldnt have found had he been bound

[00:02:23] Apprentice to a pilot
