Yes, and how many seas must a wild duck sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, and how many seas must a wide duck sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?

Before they're a forever band?
Yes, and how many times must cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?

Before she sleeps in the sand?
Before she sleeps with Sam?
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Before she sleeps with Santa?
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many seats must a wife doth set, before she sleeps in the sack?
How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand?
