Ferryboat Serenade Songtext
von Al Bowlly

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 all the 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, and we cling together
Happy, and we sing together
Happy, with the ferry boat serenade

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, and we cling together
Happy, and we sing together
Happy with the ferry boat serenade
