Well well well       Chorus:    Come along little children come along    While the moon is shining bright    Now get on board going down the river float    We gonna raise a ruckus tonight       Well my old mistress promised me    Raise a ruckus tonight    That when she died she'd set me free    Raise a ruckus tonight    Well she lived so long that her head got bald    Raise a ruckus tonight    I finally had to kill her with a white oak maul       Well well well       (Chorus)       Well our old lady gets mad at me    Raise a ruckus tonight    When I won't drink at the India tea    Raise a ruckus tonight    Well now she is good and then she is bad    Raise a ruckus tonight    Boys she's evil like a devil when she gets mad       Well       (Chorus)       Well Raise a ruckus tonight    Raise a ruckus tonight    Now we gonna raise a ruckus tonight    Raise a ruckus tonight       Well well well       (Chorus)      Well raise a ruckus, raise a ruckus    Raise a ruckus tonight    Get on board going down the river float    We gonna raise a ruckus tonight
