[ENOCH]
I own a little house and I sail a little boat
And the fish I catch I sell
And in a manner of speakin'
I'm doin' very well

I love a little girl and she's in love with me
And soon she'll be my bride
And in a manner of speakin'
I should be satisfied

[CARRIE]
Well, ain't you?

[ENOCH]
If I told you my plans and the things I intend
It'll make ev'ry curl on your head stand on it

When I make enough money outa one of my boat
I'll put all of my money in another little boat
I'll make twice as much outa two little boats
An' the first thing you know, I'll have four little boats;
Then eight little boats, then a plenty little boats
Then a great big fleet of great big boats
All catchin' herring, bringin' into shore;
Sailin' out again, an' bringin' more
An' more, an' more, an' more!
