This song is often sung as a "round". Rounds are songs where different voices come in at different times and they all harmonize.

Marsha Smith sent me two extra verses to Row, Row, Row, Your Boat and wrote:

Hi there, I really like your site. I also noticed you have the song Row Row Your Boat, well we sing two other verses...

Row row row your boat
Gently UNDER the stream
Ha Ha I fooled you
I'm a submarine.

Row row row you boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream.

(Then all the children scream and they really like it.)

Betsy Bodrero sent this version of Row, Row, Row Your Boat:

Row, Row, Row your boat
Gently down the stream
Throw your teacher over board
and listen to her scream !

Thanks to Corrina Durdunas for singing "Row Your Boat" for us!

Here's a cacophonous version of Row, Row, Row, Your Boat that most kids will love.

Thanks to Jason Pomerantz for recording Row, Row, Row, Your Boat for us! All the voices in Jason's version are performed by him. He did it by recording several tracks into the computer and starting them at different times. Jason is a master of silly voices so, while they don't exactly harmonize as they're supposed to, they do sound funny!
