The increasingly manic way Gene Wilder delivers this, it's classic for that reason!

Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way.
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going.
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing;
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing;
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing,
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing!
