A Fine Man

(in 12/8 time, if you please)

Oh, I want to be a very fine man
an' live in a boat with a hat and a pan

an' when the rain falls, I'll hold the pan up
an' when company calls, use the pan for a cup

(an' nothing to do with the book I'm currently reading - "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman")

Oh I live that a lot!

It wouldn't have been the same in time other than 12/8.
