[Verse] My canoe's on fire it's a blazing sight Glowing like the dawn in the dead of night The water laughs it can't be tamed Flames are dancing wild and untamed [Chorus] Oh row row row to the shore But the paddle’s ash and my arms are sore Sing hey ho the sailor’s plight My canoe’s on fire in the pale moonlight [Verse 2] My kayak’s cracked it’s a leaky beast Drips and drops they never ceased I patched it once with a bit of gum But now it sinks as my legs go numb [Chorus] Oh row row row to the shore But the paddle’s ash and my arms are sore Sing hey ho the sailor’s plight My canoe’s on fire in the pale moonlight [Bridge] My dinghy’s got a dent so deep It creaks and groans like it’s half-asleep A clumsy wave gave it a slap Now it’s taking water in its watery trap [Chorus] Oh row row row to the shore But the paddle’s ash and my arms are sore Sing hey ho the sailor’s plight My canoe’s on fire in the pale moonlight
