Songs to sing along the cruise :-

The most common version:

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.
