Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory movie - Wondrous Boat Ride lyrics

rate me

[Wonka]:

Round the world and home again,

That's the sailor's way.

[Veruca]: I don't like this ride, daddy!

[Mike]: We're gonna sink, I know it!

[Wonka]: Faster faster, faster faster!

[Henry]: Hang on, darling, just close your eyes and hang on tight.

[Violet]: What is this, a freakout?

[Sam]: Hey, this isn't funny, Wonka!

[Mike]: Boy, what a great series hit event.

[Charlie]: This is kind of strange.

[Joe]: Yeah, strange, Charlie, but it's fun! (laughs)

[Charlie]: This is terrific!

[Henry]: How much to get off the boat, Wonka?!

[Mrs. Teavee]: Ugh...I think I'm gonna be sick.

[Sam]: Tell that little guy to turn us around, Wonka!

[Mrs. Teavee]: Ahh! Now, I am gonna be sick!

[Veruca]: It's Arthur Slugworth!

[Charlie]: Grandpa!

[Joe]: It couldn't be.

(families screaming)

[Wonka]:

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

For the rowers keep on rowing,

And they're certainly not showing

Any signs that they are slowing!
