Come gather 'round, young explorers all,
And hear of tales both big and small,
Of ships that sailed the ocean blue,
And adventures waiting just for you.

With a frame both strong and broad,
A propeller to help it move forward,
An engine to power its every turn,
This ship is built to explore and learn.

The sail catches the wind just right,
And with paddles and oars, we'll take flight,
Using a pole to guide our way,
We'll journey on day after day.

We'll carry goods to far-off lands,
And with each new beach we'll make new friends,
We'll see sights that no one's seen before,
And learn of cultures rich in lore.

So come aboard, young ones, and see,
The world that's waiting just for thee,
With this ship, we'll chart a course so grand,
And explore together, hand in hand.
