Song lyrics

(Row, row, row, row) [4x]
Florence! Florence!

I left the one I love on one of the thousand islands (which one?)
Unfortunately, I can't remember which one (think, think)
(So I row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence)
And I'm hollerin' "Florence, where can you be?" (Where can you be?)

I wouldn't be lost up here in the thousand islands (how come?)
If we only had met on the Isle Capri (o solo mio)
I just can't find the place marked on the postcard
Called the Navy and Coast Guard, ooh, where can you be? (Oh Florence)

I mustn't take a nap, gotta watch the map
That was island seven-ninety-three
Rowed from shore to shore, knock on every door
How many thousand islands can there be? (A million!)

I'd better find you soon, 'cause I see a thousand rowboats (Row, row, row!)
And the cats inside look mightly lonesome to me (where's Florence?)
(When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence)
They're hollerin' "Florence, oh, where can you be?" (We know where you're hiding, we know where you're hiding, come out wherever you are)

(So I row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence)
I'm hollerin' "Florence, oh, where can you be?" (Where can you be?)

(I mustn't take a nap, gotta watch the map)
(That was island seven-ninety-three)
Rowed from shore to shore, knock on every door
And how many thousand islands can there be? (A million!)

I'd better find you soon, 'cause I see a thousand rowboats (Row, row, row!)
Those lonesome cats inside look, mmmm, crazy to me (where's Florence?)
(When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence)
They're all hollerin' ("Florence, Florence, Florence")
Oh, where can you be?

(Not one, not two, not three, not four, but a thousand! Florence!)
Florence!
Oh, where can you be?
