LYRICS OF ALL AROUND THIS WORLD VERSION

The canoe flipped and who made it flip was it you?
It was because of Molly, now what are we going to do?
Paddle left and paddle right, paddle left and paddle right, paddle left and paddle right, paddle left and
paddle right.

A canoa virou, quem deixou ela virar
Foi por causa da [child’s name], que não soube remar
Siriri prá cá, siriri prá lá, siriri prá cá, siriri prá lá
Siriri prá cá, siriri prá lá, siriri prá cá, siriri prá lá
