I love boating. We have a great time.
If you look in our boat you will find
What you need for a safe trip
Let's get on the water and let's not tip
What you need for a safe trip
Let's get on the water and let's not tip

Lifejackets for everyone
And just in case bring an extra one
Zip it up - Zip, zip, up your lifejacket
Zip it up - Zip, zip, up your lifejacket
Zip it up - And buckle it too

Don't rock the boat or fool around
When the boat gets moving sit right down
Sit down - Rock, rock, don't rock the boat
Sit down - Rock, rock, don't rock the boat
Sit right down - And no horsing around

If you take on water there's no doubt
You'll need a bailer to bail it out
Bail it out - Scoop, scoop, scoop up the water
Bail it out - Scoop, scoop, scoop up the water
Bail it out - Bail it out

Everybody needs a place to sit
Don't overload in case you tip
You'll tip - Tip, tip, too many people
You'll tip - Tip, tip, too many people
You'll tip - Don't overload

After dark you will need
Lights on the boat so you'll be seen
Be seen - Light, light, lights on the boat
Be seen - Light, light, lights on the boat
Be seen - When the sun goes down

I love boating. We have a great time.
If you look in our boat you will find
What you need for a safe trip
Let's get on the water and let's not tip
