pReLuDe (tHe FaMiLy TrIp)

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing!
Are the fires of hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes!
The danger must be growing!
'Cause the rowers keep on rowing,
and they're certainly not showing,
Any signs that they are slowing!
STOP THE BOAT!
