Row, Row, Row your what?!

So I had to find out who made up Row, Row, Row your boat and I found out there are variations to the nursery rhyme....


Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Up and down the stream


Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a waterfall
Don't forget to scream



Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the river
If you see a polar bear
Don't forget to shiver



Row, row, row the boat
Gently to the shore
If you see a lion
Don't forget to roar



Row, row, row the boat
Gently in the bath
If you see a spider
Don't forget to laugh



Row, row, row the boat
Gently as can be
'Cause if you're not careful
You'll fall into the sea!



Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the lake
Don't stand up and rock the boat
That's a big mistake!



Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Throw your teachers overboard
And listen to them scream!



Rock, rock, rock your boat
Gently down the stream
Watch out, give a shout,
Into the water you go!



Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream. or Underneath the stream.
Ha! Ha! Fool'd ya all!
I'm a submarine.


Then came...




Mister Rogers version:


Propel, propel, propel your craft,
Unforcefully down the liquid solution.
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Existence is merely an illusion.



Drive, drive, drive your car,
Gently down the street.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a treat.



Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
If you see a crocodile,
Don't forget to scream.
Argh!





Well, there you go, all the Row, Row, Row Your Boat you could ever want!


I will probaby be humming that tune for the rest of the day...

Some of this text has been copied from the 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' page at Wikipedia there for it is not mine, also the lyrics to some of the songs do not belong to me (Brightfrost) but to their respected owners. Thanks for reading the small text by the way!
