There ’s no earthIy way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There ’s no knowing where we ’re going
Or which way the wind is bIowing
Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-bIowing?
Not a speck of Iight is showing..
So the danger must be growing
Oh, the fires of heII are gIowing..
Is the grisIy reaper mowing?
Yes! The danger must be growing (Faster! Faster!)
For the rowers keep on rowing (Faster! Faster!)
And they ’re certainIy not showing (Faster! Faster!)
Any signs that they are sIowing (Faster! Faster!)
Stop the boat.
