Row Your Boat (Scary Lullaby)

[Intro – whispered, distant, cello drone building] (Humming, slightly off-key) Row… row… Can you hear the water breathing? Dark river, no moonlight gleaming… Close your eyes, don’t look downstream… Every ripple hides a dream… (Cello tremolo rising, soft metal drums fade in) ⸻ [Verse 1] Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream, Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. ⸻ [Verse 2 – heavier drums, cello swells] Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream, If you see a crocodile, Don’t forget to scream (Aaagh!) ⸻ [Outro – slow, echoing, music strips back to cello and voice] Row… row… don’t look behind… The water knows what you will find… Merrily… not everything’s what it seems… Life… is… but… a dream…
