Oh, there's no boat like a rowboat
for row, row romancin' love..
Hearts will skip an' they'll miss
as we kiss in the dark
Oh what love we can make
on a lake in the park.
It's an ocean of devotion
a floating dream for two..
Oh, I keep hopin' that
the oars will stray
so we could drift forever
and a day!.
'Cause, there's no boat like a rowboat
it's row, row rosy
for row, row romance
in a row, row, rowboat with you!.
[instrumental break].
(Don't wanna steam boat!)
that's not my dreamboat
(Don't wanna sail boat!)
or a whale boat!
(Don't wanna tug boat, a chug-a-lug boat!)
or an ocean liner
on it's way to China!.
Oh, there's no boat like a rowboat
for row, row romancin' love..
[instrumental break].
It's an ocean of devotion
a floating dream for two..
[instrumental break].
'Cause, there's no boat like a rowboat
in a row, row rowboat with you!.
[instrumental break].
(l could skip an' they'll miss
as we kiss in the dark)
Oh what love we can make
in the lake in the park.
(It's an ocean of devotion
a floating dream for two..).
Oh, I keep hoping that
the oars will stray
so we could drift forever
and a day!.
'Cause, there's no boat like a rowboat
it's row, row rosy
for row, row romance
in a row, row, rowboat with you!.
