Songs

Songs to sing along the cruise :-

The most common version:

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
 
Mr. Bean in Bean variated the lyrics while drunk: 
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
If you see a crocodile,
Don’t forget to scream.
Argh!
Don Music from Sesame Street:
Drive, drive, drive your car,
Gently down the street.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a treat.
Lt. George in Blackadder Goes Forth
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Belts off, Trousers down,
Isn’t life a scream.
HEY!
King Friday XIII‘s version as shown on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood:
Propel, propel, propel your craft,
Unforcefully down the liquid solution.
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Existence is merely an illusion.
an extended version:
Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream
 
Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a waterfall
Don’t forget to scream
 
Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the river
If you see a polar bear
Don’t forget to shiver
 
Row, row, row the boat
Gently to the shore
If you see a lion
Don’t forget to roar
 
Row, row, row the boat
Gently in the bath
If you see a spider
Don’t forget to laugh
 
Row, row, row the boat
Gently as can be
Cause if you’re not careful
You’ll fall into the sea!
 
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the lake
Don’t stand up and rock the boat
That’s a big mistake!
 
Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Throw your teachers overboard
And listen to them scream!
 
Rock, rock, rock your boat
Gently to and fro
Watch out, give a shout,
Into the water you go!
 
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream. (or Underneath the stream.)
Ha! Ha! Fool’d ya all!
I’m a submarine.
 
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the brook.
If you catch a little fish,
Let it off the hook.
