The Princess Pat

Public Domain-Patricia soldiers’ song from 1916

(a repeat after me song)

The Princess Pat
Lived in a tree
She sailed across
The Seven Seas
She sailed across
The channel 2
And she took with her 
The ric-a-dan-do

Chorus: The ric-a-dan-do
	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
        The ric-a-dan-do

Now Captain Jack
Had a mightly fine crew
He sailed across
The channel 2
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The ric-a-dan-do

Chorus: The ric-a-dan-do
	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
        The ric-a-dan-do


Now Princess Pat
Saved Capital Jack
She pulled him out 
She brought him back
She saved his life
And his crew too
How did she do it?
The ric-a-dan-do
