Paroles de 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 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 cling 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 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 ferry 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
