Gordon and Vinnie and Robb, one day,
set out in a great big ship
Sailed to the ocean down past the quay
Out of a Portland slip.
"Where are you going and what is your game?"
The people asked those three

"Darned if we know: but all the same
Happy as larks are we;
And happier still we're going to be!"
Said Gordon And Vinnie And Robb.

The people laughed and laughed
And laughed and laughed did they
And while those three went sailing so
Some pirates they were laughing, too-
The prospect made them glad;
But by the time the job was through
Each of those pirates, bold and bad.
Had been done out of all he had
By Gordon And Vinnie And Robb

Days and weeks and months they sped,
Painting that foreign clime
A beautiful, bright vermilion red-
and having a hell of a time!
T was all so gaudy a lark. it seemed
As if it could not he.
And some folks thought it a dream they dreamed
Of sailing that foreign sea,
But I'll identify you these three-
Gordon And Vinnie And Robb.

Gordon and Vinnie are salesmen and such
And Robb in an entrepreneur:
The first two named can easily switch
But Robb will surely persevere
So keep your eyes open and mind your tricks
Or you are like to be
In quite as much of a briny fix
As the pirates that sailed the sea
and monkeyed with the partners three,

Gordon And Vinnie And Robb
