Ice cream cakes and lemonade
Paddle wheel churns away
Sitting on the Riverboat
Watching whirlpools in the waves

I like to dream all day long
Dozing in the sweltering sun
On the Riverboat Charade

Peppermint Captain at the helm
Chewing a live grenade
Motorman slugs up to the galley
Fighting along the way

I like to dream all day long
Dozing in the sweltering sun
On the Riverboat Charade

Pretty lady looks away and
Quickly waves her fan
Tip my cap and bite my lip
Shaky as the Purser's hands

Froggy went a courtin' one fine day
Croakin' and a hoppin' in his quirky way
On the Riverboat Charade
He likes to dream all day long
Croaking in the sweltering sun

On the Riverboat Charade
On the Riverboat Charade
