 Back in 1490 I was at 92
 
 Christopher Columbus told the people what he'd do
 
 Said I'll prove to you my theory though you scarped me and frowned
 
 That's who can blame you standing or isn't that the ground
 
 
 
 Well dog my kitty cat she was a stubborn fellow
 
 He pushed till he got to see Queen Isabella
 
 I need new mason boats you better let me have three
 
 The Nina and the Pinta and the Santa Marie
 
 
 
 Row your boat row your boat
 
 Hey there sailor row oh no you don't
 
 You better get in cause your making me soar
 
 If you don't row the boat then will never get to shore
 
 
 
 Well a storm started brewing in the middle of the drift
 
 But like big fat Johnny didn't take a lot a lip
 
 He kept all the sailors from permittin' mutiny
 
 By telling them their names would go down in history
 
 
 
 Well a skinny little fellow whos eye for the best
 
 Shimmied up the pole and chased the crow from his nest
 
 He started shoutin' when a duck flew in his hand
 
 Were runnin' out of water this must be the land
 
 
 
 When ole Chris found America he was a happy man
 
 He thought he was the first to walk upon the land
 
 But a spoil hick sailor who was high on Spanish beer
 
 He painted signs everywhere Kilroy Was Here
 
 
 
 Row your boat row your boat...
 
 Row your boat row your boat...
 
 Row your boat row your boat...
