'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!
