While singing "row, row, row, your boat" to a little one tonight, another chimed in with some alternate words! We have the standard:
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dreamFirst alternate to this was:
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Hah, hah I fooled you all
I'm a submarine!And the second alternate was:
Propel, propel, propel your craft
Placidly over the liquid solution
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Life is merely an illusion!Can you come up with more?

Shove, shove, shove your head
firmly up your ass.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is just a gas.
That's definitely not for the "little one", but it's fitting for some people I've met.
