New members probably don't know that we have a song to sing about our boats So for the newer members, here is the text of the song. It is sung to the music of "Oh Tannenbaum, Oh Tannenbaum" (Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree). Song text: Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat, How glad I am that we’re afloat You take me out to mermaid-land And bring me back all nice and tan Oh Wrinkle Boat, Oh Wrinkle Boat How glad I am when we’re afloat. Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat You rock me gently to and fro The World’s in order; life is slow Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat With lee-rail under and getting wet Or greeting porpoises we’ve just met Oh, Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy I am when I’m afloat The water’s blue, we drift along And sing a verse of this foolish song Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How nice it is to be afloat. Happy sailing, tell your stories, and make an old man happy. Connie M-15 LEPPO #400
