Doodly do do doot
Doodly do do doot
Doodly do do doot doo

Gee, when we're paddling Madelin home
Hey, when we're paddling Madelin home
First we drift with the tide
And pull for the shore
I hug her and kiss her
And paddle some more

Then I keep paddling Madelin home
You're doing it in the water
Until I find a spot where we're alone
And she never says no
So I kiss her and go
Paddling Madelin
Sweet, sweet Madelin
Paddling Madelin home

And then he'd row, row, row
Way up the river
He would row, row, row
A hug he'd give her
Then he'd kiss her now and then
She would tell him when
And then he'd fool around and fool around
And kiss her then again

And then he'd row, row, row
A little further
He would row, oh how he'd row
Well, he'd drop both his oars
And take a few more encores
Yeah, yeah

Like when I'm paddling Madelin home
Hey, when I'm paddling Madelin home
Oh some times we'd fall in
But it never gets dull
Cause Madelin yells
Hey, you're out of your skull
So I keep paddling Madelin home
Until I find a spot where we're alone
And she never says no
I continue and go
Paddling Madelin
Sweet, sweet Madelin
Paddling Madelin home
