I have never been aboard a steamer 
 I am just content to be a dreamer 
 Even if I could afford a steamer 
 I will take the ferry boat every time 
  
 I love to ride the ferry 
 Where music is so merry 
 There's a man who plays the concertina 
 On the moonlit upper deck arena 
  
 While boys and girls are dancing 
 While sweethearts are romancing 
 Life is like a mardi-gras 
 Funiculi, funicula 
  
 Happy, we cling together 
 Happy, we sing together 
 Happy, with the ferry boat serenade 
  
 I am happy, very, very happy 
 When we're on the ferry 
 The music is so merry 
 There's a man who plays the concertina 
 On the moonlit upper deck arena, arena 
  
 I love to ride the ferry 
 Where music is so merry 
 There's a man who always plays the concertina, oh my 
 On the moonlit upper deck arena, by and by 
  
 While the boys and girls are dancing, oh dancing 
 While, while the sweethearts are romancing 
 Life is like a mardi-gras 
 Funiculi, funicula 
  
 Happy, we cling together 
 Happy, we sing together 
 Happy with the ferry boat serenade 
  
 ------ [bad word] break ------ 
  
 I love to ride the ferry 
 Sailing, sailing where, where the music is so merry 
 There's a man who just plays the concertina 
 On the moonlit upper deck arena 
  
 All the while the boys and girls are dancing 
 Look around and you see sweethearts romancing 
 Life is like a mardi-gras 
 Funiculi, funicula 
  
 Happy, we cling together 
 Happy, we sing together 
 Happy, with the ferry boat serenade
