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! Words and Music by Irving Gordon
