Al Bowlly & Jimmy Mesene (Radio Stars With Two Guitars)
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 all the 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, and we cling together
Happy, and we sing together
Happy, with the ferry boat serenade
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, and we cling together
Happy, and we sing together
Happy with the ferry boat serenade
