Little red rented rowboat little red rented rowboat
Not much better than no boat
But at least it will go when I row row row at least it will go when I row

(row row row row row)
One hour later I saw them again
Motorboat out of gas, sailboat out of wind
The girls waved, and I waved, and then I passed them by
With my nose held way up high me and my

REFRAIN
