[Lyric] The Rowing Song (Roald Dahl)

[WONKA, spoken]
Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster, faster, faster, faster

[WONKA, sung]
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing

Is it raining, is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a–blowing?

[WONKA, spoken]
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a–glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?

[WONKA, shouting]
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing!
