I love to ride the ferry,
where music is so merry.
There's a man who plays the concertina,
on the moonlit upper deck arena.
While boys and girls are dancing,
while sweethearts are romancing,
life is like a Mardi Gras,
funiculi, funicular,
happy as we cling together,
happy as we sing together,
happy with a ferryboat
serenade.
I have never been aboard a steamer,
I am just content to be
a dreamer.
Even if I could afford a steamer,
I will take the ferry boat all the time.
I love to ride the ferry,
where music is so merry.
There's a man who
plays the concertina
On the moonlit upper decarina
While boys and girls are dancing
While sweethearts are romancing
Life is like a mardi gras,
funiculi, funicular.
Happy as we cling together,
happy as we sing together,
happy with a fairy -folk serenade.
While boys and girls are dancing,
while sweethearts are romancing,
life is like a Mardi Gras funiculipunipular.
Happy as we sing together,
happy as we sing together,
happy with a fairy boat serenade.
