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.
I saw two pretty girls sunbathing on a pier
They wore bikinis way down to here

(Row row row row row)
Along came a sailboat big enough for two
The skipper saw the girls, I knew what he would do
He waved, and they waved, then he helped them* inside

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
Chorus (bis)
