[Verse 1]

You're on a wide open ocean

No one around you for miles

You're thinkin' of drinkin' on water

While you're sailing the Nile

No one to stop you on your way

Flyin' by goes a stork

You decide to bring your oars in now

But accidentally knock out the cork

[Chorus]

Row your boat to shore

'Cause it is leaking and you're still drinking

Unless you cork the hole

You won't be sailing, you'll be sinking

[Verse 2]

And not knowing you're sinking

You take out a bottle of rum, yum

Swigging a drink to the bottom

The label reads, 'Van Monchinghum'

Oars back into the water

You think you'll sail on

But you can't, 'cause your boat contains

Three and a half gallons

[Chorus]

Row your boat to shore

'Cause it is leaking and you're still drinking

Unless you cork the hole

You won't be sailing, you'll be sinking

Row your boat to shore

'Cause it is leaking and you're still drinking

Unless you cork the hole

You won't be sailing, you'll be sinking

[Bridge]

Row, row, row your boat

And sail your ship to shore

You're barely, barely, barely keeping afloat

Well I hope that you won't drink no more

[Chorus]

Row your boat to shore

'Cause it is leaking and you're still drinking

Unless you cork the hole

You won't be sailing, you'll be sinking

[Bridge]

Row, row, row your boat

And sail your ship to shore

You're barely, barely, barely keeping afloat

Well I hope that you won't drink no more

Row, row, row your boat

And sail your ship to shore

You're barely, barely, barely keeping afloat

Well I hope that you won't drink no more
