Lyrics[edit]

   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?
   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?
   yes!
   the danger must be growing (faster, faster)
   for the rowers keep on rowing (faster, faster)
   and they're certainly not showing (faster, faster)
   any signs that they are slowing (faster, faster)
   stop the boat.
