There were loads of people linin' up for the river boat ride
Gonna take ém sailin' on down the river so wide
They'd been waitin, hopin, prayin for their big dream
To see the old river boat once again blow off steam
She's a River Boat Queen and she hasn't been seen for long
Lost in deep dark waters she was gone
She's a river steam boat that once again float so fine
Let's ride the paddle steamer
Everybody get in line
For a hundred and twentyfive years the ship was gone
'Til two scuba divers finally came upon
Resting in the deep a real good "Donald Duck wreck"
Standing on the bottom straight up with a well kept deck
She's a River Boat Queen and she hasn't been seen for long
Lost in deep dark waters she was gone
She's a river steam boat that once again float so fine
Let's ride the paddle steamer
Everybody get in line
She was sailing between Stockholm and Gothenburg
On a new canal of which I bet you've heard
Comin' to an island she took a wrong way around
Hit the bottom and started to sink on down
She's a River Boat Queen and she hasn't been seen for long
Lost in deep dark waters she was gone
She's a river steam boat that once again float so fine
Let's ride the paddle steamer
Everybody get in line
Now let's ride the paddle steamer
