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 can*l 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
