This song is often done as a "round", which is a less technical word for "fugue". Rounds are songs where different voices come in at different times and they all harmonize.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily,
Merrily,
Merrily,
Merrily,
Life is but a dream.
Notes

Marsha Smith sent me two extra verses to Row, Row, Row, Your Boat and wrote:
Hi there, I really like your site. I also noticed you have the song Row Row Your Boat, well we sing two other verses.
Row row row your boat
Gently UNDER the stream
Ha Ha I fooled you
I'm a submarine.
Row row row you boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream
(Then all the children scream and they really like it.)
