Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Have just been watching a TV programme on Teachers TV and I heard a song that I would like to use but I don't know the words to. Not sure if this is the chorus but it went - The captain said ei ei, The captain said ei ei. Have done a quick google but came up blank. So I thought I would try the real experts on this site.

Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Sounds like it could be the Jolly phonics song for ie which off the top of my head i think goes something like the captain says ie, ie the captain says ie, ie, stand up straight dont be late the captain says ie, ie If its pirate songs you want we sang when I was one I sucked my thumb the day I went to sea, I climbed aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me we're going this way that way forward and backward over the Irish sea, a bottle of rum to warm my tum and thats the life for me.

Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 We sing this song, not sure if it's the one you saw: The Captain says ie ie The Captain says ie ie Stand up straight and don't be late the captain says ie ie This song is from the Jolly Songs book from Jolly phonics which comes with a CD. The book has a song for each of the 42 sounds and the tunes are all based on familar songs such as the farmers in the dell, skip to the lou etc,etc. My chn have loved these and I have found them much more simple to use than the Jolly Jingles.

Sue R Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 This is the pirate song we sing : When I was 1 I ate a bun (mime action) The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship (cover one eye with hand) And the Captain said to me (salute) We're going this way, that way (sway from side to side) Forwards and backwards (sway forwards and backwards) Over the Irish Sea (use hand to make wave actions) A bottle of rum (mime drinking) To fill my tum,(rub tummy) And that's the life for me (thumbs up) Oy! (slap thigh like pantomime principal boy) Verse 2 When I was 2 I buckled my shoe (mime action) V3 When I was 3 I banged my knee (mime ) V4 When I was 4 I slammed the door (mime) V5 When I was 5 I learnt to dive (mime) V6 When I was 6 I learnt some tricks (!) V7 When I was 7 I sailed from Devon (mime 'look-out') V8 When I was 8 I jumped the gate (mime) V9 When I was 9 I crossed the line (!) V10 When I was 10 did it again...... The children love it, but it's quite tiring to sing, strangely! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Ever tried singing it, reading the words, whilst dressed up as a pirate with a patch over one eye? Very difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Thanks I think it must be the Jolly Phonics song as JP was mentioned, thanks for the other songs as well, our children are very much into Pirates at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Mine are into pirates too. I've just begun learning to play the guitar and took it in a couple of weeks ago, Drunken Sailor is easy - only two chords, and they had lots of fun making up new verses: phone the police and put him in prison, throw him in the sea and let the sharks eat him, get some crabs and make them pinch him, take his rum away and give him water, make him walk the plank and fire the cannon, .....the list went on and on..... and fortunately they didn't notice the bum notes!

Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Oh AOB, isn't it great teaching reception. They think you're wonderful no matter how badly you sing, dance, play an instrument. God love 4/5 year olds. (and their dotty teachers ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue R Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Wow! Storytelling's my favourite thing, so I'll be on your site as soon as I've got time! I couldn't begin to tell you the tune, and as I haven't a musical bone in my body (although I love music!) I suppose it varies everytime I 'sing' it! I'd have to 'do' it for you....... embarrassment!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hello everyone! Just so you know, I now have "when I was 1... " stuck in my head!! Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Jolly songs from? I don't know if School has one, I'll have to raid the cupboards...(currently one of my favourite things to do!) :-P Sarah xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 They sell them in Early Learning Centre or I guess the Jolly Phonics website will have them. They also sell them on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/2...rds=jolly+songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
