Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Oh, row, row, row your boat
Through the toxic waste
Merrily, merrily, merrily with
A smile upon your face
Oh, row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Overlook the chemicals
That turn the water green
Oh, row, row, row your boat
Through the oil spill
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Isn't it a thrill?
Oh, row, row, row your boat
Gently through the slime
Overlook the little fish
A floatin' up and dyin'
We're paddling, paddling, paddling, paddling
Merrily through the oil
And the old rubber tires and the sharp rusty wires
And the beer cans and cake pans
Condoms and spray cans
Styrofoam cups and aluminum foil
We just row, row, row our boat
Gently through the muck
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody,
Nobody gives a damn
Oh, row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
