Row Row Row Your Boat row row row your boat Image Source--> www.howcast.com Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream, Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. Row, row, row your boat Gently down the brook, If you catch a little fish Please let it off the hook. Row, row, row your boat Gently down the creek, If you see a little mouse Listen to it squeak. Row, row, row your boat Gently down the river, If the river gets you wet Don't forget to shiver. Row, row, row the boat Gently to the shore, If you see a lyin' bear Don't forget to roar. Row, row, row your boat Watch the water flow, Rowing's fun but rowing's hard That is what I know. 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 your boat See the water run, Rowing here and rowing there Oh, we're almost done. Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream, Ha ha fooled ya all I'm a submarine.
