About this song
A gentle action song and round, popular on both sides of the Atlantic. Rocking your baby back and forth in time builds a soothing rhythm and turn-taking, and the steady beat is one of the easiest for little ones to feel.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Sit facing your baby, hold hands, and rock gently back and forth.
- Keep the rhythm slow and steady.
- Pause at 'dream' and give a little tickle.
Lyrics & Rhyme
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
