Merry Christmas To All

If a steamship weighs ten thousand tons
and sails five thousand miles,
with a cargo large of overshoes
and carving knives and files,
if the mates were almost six feet tall
and the bos'n near the same,
would you subtract or multiply
to find the captain's name?

(Chorus)
Put down six and carry two,
gee, but this is hard to do!
You can think and think and think
'til your brains are numb.
I don't care what teacher says,
I can't do that sum.
