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
