The song doesn't follow any "popular" lyrics to the rhyme, so here's my interpretation of the lyrics;
The big ship sails on the alley, alley, oh,
The alley, alley, oh, the alley, alley, oh,
The big ship sails on the alley, alley, oh,
On the last day of Semptember.
Alley, alley, oh,
Alley, alley oh,
The big ship sails away.
The big ship sails on the alley, alley, oh,
On the last day of September.

The big ship sails on the alley, alley, oh,
The alley, alley, oh, the alley, alley, oh,
The big ship sails on the alley, alley, oh,
On the last day of Semptember.
Alley, alley, oh,
Alley, alley oh,
The big ship sails away.
The big ship sails on the alley, alley, oh,
On the last day of September.

(Is it okay Joe?)

Alley, alley, oh,
Alley, alley, oh,
The big ship sails away.
The big ship sails on the alley, alley, oh,
On the last day of September.

(Sorry, I wasn't very professional there)
