Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
If you see a crocodile,
Don't forget to scream!

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently to the shore.
If you see a lion there,
Don't forget to roar!

Row, row, row your boat,
Watch the water flow,
Rowing's fun, but rowing's hard,
That is what I know.

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the lake.
Don't stand up and rock the boat,
That's a big mistake!

Row, row, row your boat,
See the water run.
Rowing here and rowing there,
Oh, we're almost done.

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

This expanded version adds playful verses about encountering a crocodile, a lion, and emphasizes the fun and caution while rowing. It reinforces the idea that life should be enjoyed, and its transient nature is compared to a dream.
