It was early Sunday morning,
I was strolling down the highway,
When without the slightest warning,
Rows of people stood in my way,
I couldn't pass them though I tried,
Next thing I was pushed inside,
I found it was,
The Great Big Little Boat Show,
And there were, Wood Boats,
Steel Boats,
Flat Boats, Keel Boats,
Row Boats,
Show Boats, standing all around,
Nightboats, dayboats, seaboats,
bayboats
Whale boats, sailboats,
coverin' the ground
Upboards, inboards, outboards,
thinboards
Oakwood, teak, mahogany, and pine
Slowboats, speedboats,
any kind you need boats
Come on in, show is fine
A lovely lady sellin' motors
Asked me in to view her cruiser
So I felt around her cabin
I didn't think I should refuse her
But I climbed down mighty quick
When that lady got seasick
And I kept on goin' at the Great Big
Little Boat Show
Where there were wood boats, steel boats, flat boats,
keel boats, row boats, show boats, standin' all around
Night boats, day boats, sea boats,
bay boats, whale boats, sailboats,
coverin' the ground
Outboards, inboards, stoutboards,
thinboards,
oakwood, teak, mahogany, and pine
Slow boats, speed boats,
any kind you need boats,
come on in, the show is fine
I bought an anchor,
I bought a compass,
bought some sails with special folder
I bought a bilge pump, rubber bumpers,
and a balsa bottle holder.
I sure was set for a life of float,
except I didn't have a boat.
I said goodbye to the great big
little boat show,
and to those wood boats, steel boats, flat boats,
keel boats, row boats, show boats, standing all around.
Ike boats, day boats, sea boats,
bay boats, whale boats, sail boats,
covering the ground.
Ump board, thin boards, scout board, thin boards,
oak wood, teak, mahogany, and pine.
Slow boats, speed boats,
any kind you need boats.
You should've come in,
the show was fine!
