Row me to the shore
She don't want to be my friend no more
She dug a hole in the bottom of my soul
She don't want to be my friend no more

I heard your song, before my heart had time to hush it!

Pick them up baby, row them on
Bring 'em on in, bring 'em on home

Everybody row! Everybody row!
Everybody row! Everybody row!

All your reindeer armies are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
