'Cause when i'm paddlin' madelin' home
Gee! when i'm paddlin' madelin' home
First i drift with the tide
Then pull for the shore
I hug her and kiss her
And paddle some more.
The i keep paddlin' madelin' home
Until i find a spot where we're alone
Oh! she never says "no" so i kiss her and go
Paddlin' madelin', sweet, sweet madelin'
Paddlin' madelin' home!
(Repeat)
