'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)
