Ferry Boat 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 every time

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, funicula

Happy, we drink together

Happy, we sing together

Happy, with the ferry boat serenade

I am happy, very, very happy

When we're on the ferry

The music is so merry

There's a man who plays the concertina

On the moonlit upper deck arena, arena

I love to ride the ferry

Where music is so merry

There's a man who always plays the concertina, oh my

On the moonlit upper deck arena, by and by

While the boys and girls are dancing, oh dancing

While, while the sweethearts are romancing

Life is like a Mardi-Gras

Funiculi, funicula

Happy, we cling together

Happy, we sing together

Happy with the merry boat serenade

I love to ride the ferry

Sailing, sailing where, where the music is so merry

There's a man who just plays the concertina

On the moonlit upper deck arena

All the while the boys and girls are dancing

Look around and you see sweethearts romancing

Life is like a Mardi-Gras

Funiculi, funicula

Happy, we cling together

Happy, we sing together

Happy, with the ferry boat serenade
