Good Night Boat 1920 Kern

When the gentle breeze
is blowing across the summer sea,
Take a little trip
on my little ship
Is she safe and easy going,
we want a guarantee
safe as any Ford
right face all aboard!

Good night boat
the pretty greenery
and scenery you view
Good night boat
and when the river shivers
you will shiver too
and when the good old Jug band
starts a beatin' it,
you can't help
but get your feet in it,
Slip slide with the tide
cling those Hudson glide,
Good night boat,
then you'll be hailing
ev'ry sail and ev'ry buoy.
Ooooooooooo!
Ship ahoy! You're just as safe
as you'd be on land
for she's the sturdiest craft afloat,
Good old good night boat.

Good night boat
the pretty greenery
and scenery you view
Good night boat
and when the river shivers
you will shiver too
and when the good old Jug band
starts a beatin' it,
you can't help
but get your feet in it,
Slip slide with the tide
cling those Hudson glide,
Good night boat,
then you'll be hailing
ev'ry sail and ev'ry buoy.
Ooooooooooo!
Ship ahoy! You're just as safe
as you'd be on land
for she's the sturdiest craft afloat,
Good old good night boat.

When the mellow moon is rising
above the silver stream,
you forget your wife
for this is the life!
Someone by your side
is singing a song
of love's young dream,
for each dreaming pair
we charge extra fare!

Good night boat
the pretty greenery
and scenery you view
Good night boat
and when the river shivers
you will shiver too
and when the good old Jug band

you can't help
but get your feet in it,
Slip slide with the tide
cling those Hudson glide,
Good night boat,
then you'll be hailing
ev'ry sail and ev'ry buoy.
Ooooooooooo!
