Lyrics
The Spine Goin' up the river, takin' all mah friends We're all headin' to th' place where the music never ends

Rabbit Goin' up the river, takin' all mah friends We're all headin' to th' place where the music never ends

Folks would you like a milkshake? Chocolate or vanilla? We've got anything you'd want and a fountain of sarsaparilla

The Spine Welcome board the S. S. Biscuiteer Feel free to chime in with music that you hear 'Cause this here steamboat runs off a catchy tune so if everybody sings along we might make it to the moon

Music so hot and loud burns through the deck riles up the crowd Check your watches at the door Bring your smiles for what's in store The dancing is free


 * Chorus:

All bots Steamboat Shenanigans Steamboat Shenanigans The smoke stacks up high are billowing clouds to the sky While we all partake in those Steamboat Shenanigans Nanigans, nanigans, Nanigans

Rabbit Oh, Steamboat Shenanigans One, two, three Steamboat Shenanigans Take a trip with me The river below stretches on for miles and this here's one steamboat trip that'll make you smile


 * Chorus:

All bots Steamboat Shenanigans Steamboat Shenanigans The band that you hear was built from metal and gears and we all partake in those Steamboat Shenanigans

The Spine It's raining down on us The skies are grey but we don't fuss The cold is bringing them down but if we start a song and all sing along we might break the sun through the rain Come on and celebrate

Music so hot and loud burns through the deck riles up the crowd Check your watches at the door Bring your smiles for what's in store The dancing is free

Rabbit The music was All bots Burning, burning La Da Dada Da Da Burning, burning La Da Dada Da Da Burning, burning La Da Dada Da Da Burning, burning La Da Dada Da Da


 * Chorus:

Steamboat Shenanigans Steamboat Shenanigans The smoke stacks up high are billowing clouds to the sky While we all partake in those -can't get away from those -I wanna stay with those Steambo- Ho-Hoat

Shenanigans Nanigans, nanigans, Nanigans Nanigans, nanigans, Nanigans, nanigans, Nanigans, Nana-nana-nana-nana-nanigans
