  For Pat and Margaret,

  Johnny, Daniel, Helen, and Anna, May you share many merry adventures!

  Row row row your boat

  Gently down the stream

  Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

  Life is but a dream.

  Row row row your boat

  Happy as can be

  Sunshine glowing, off and rowing

  With your family.

  Row row row your boat

  Stroke and follow through

  Fumbling, flailing, oars go sailing—

  What a clumsy crew!

  Row row row your boat

  Row with all your might

  Rocking, bashing, water splashing

  Better hold on tight!

  Row row row your boat

  Look ahead to find

  Beavers damming, logging, jamming

  Left you in a bind!

  Row row row your boat

  Stop to have a munch

  Chomping, snacking, slurping, smacking What a noisy bunch!

  Row row row your boat

  Better row to shore

  Raining, hailing, wind is wailing

  Hear the thunder roar!

  Row row row your boat

  Find a place that’s dry

  Scurry, scuttle, hide and huddle

  Till the storm blows by.

  Row row row your boat

  And away you go

  Skies are clearing, sunset nearing

  Homeward bound you row.
