Thomas Case Sterndale Bennett
Yachting in Regent's Park.
Words by George Arthurs. Keith Prowse & Co. London, 1911.
Humorous song, three verses and refrain, 'sung with immense success by
Miss Margaret Cooper and the Composer'.
I've got a pretty little yacht,
That's what I've got...
For danger I never care a jot!
When I embark
I frighten all the ducks that hang around the spot
When I'm yachting in Regent's Park!
(The third verse explains how it's done.)
I'm mate and crew and the captain too,
I stand on land with a long bamboo,
I steer its course through the water blue,
Unless it sinks, then I don't pursue...
