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!
