  • "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" Lyrics

    Row, row, row your boat,
    Gently down the stream.
    Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
    Life is but a dream.

    As the world sails by,
    We see so many things.
    We’re so glad, our hearts swell up.
    We’ll sing and sing and sing. 

    *2nd verse written by Jenny Phillips
