Lyrics
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 stream.
If you see an alligator,
Don't forget to scream.
Alternative Lyrics
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Throw your teacher overboard
And listen to her scream.
Alternative Lyrics
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Verily, verily, verily, verily,
Life is but a dream.
