(The) Princess Pat

(this is a repeat song)

The Princess Pat

Lived in a tree

She sailed across

The seven seas

She sailed across

The Channel too

And took with her

A rig of bamboo

Refrain:

A rig of bamboo

Now what is that

It’s something made

By the Princess Pat

It’s red and gold

And purple too

That’s why it’s called

A rig of bamboo

Now Captain Jack

Had a might fine crew

He sailed across

The Channel too

But his ship sank

And yours will too

If you don’t take

A rig of bamboo

(go to refrain)

Now Princess Pat

Saw Captain Jack

She reeled him in

She brought him back

She saved his life

And his crew too

And do you know how

With A rig of bamboo (Refrain)

Motions:

Egyptian pose

spread arms like a tree

one hand imitates waves

show 7 with fingers,

then show “C” with one hand

one hand imitates waves

both hands straight down,

then show 2 fingers

hands together over a shoulder

wiggle as you squat

wiggle as you squat

flip left hand out, flip right hand out

fists hit on top of each other

Egyptian pose

twirl left hand and hold

twirl right hand

hands to mouth and shout “called”

wiggle as you squat

salute with right hand

alternate saluting with both hands

one hand imitates waves

both hands straight down,

then show 2 fingers

hold nose and squat

shake finger

hands together over a shoulder

wiggle as you squat

Egyptian pose

salute with right hand

act as if reeling in a fish

pull fish in

cross hands on chest one at a time,

sing slower

alternate saluting with both hands

Hands out as if you don’t know

wiggle as you squat
