Two in the boat and the tide rolls high Two in the boat and the tide rolls high Two in the boat and the tide rolls high Get you a pretty one by and by.
It increases each time, with the two in the circle each taking someone from the outer ring into the center. Then, when you're left with just two in the outer circle you sing (I'll use four as the example),
Four in the boat and it won't go round Four in the boat and it won't go round Four in the boat and it won't go round Swing that pretty one you just found
And instead of the outer circle going around the inner group, they stomp in place on "won't go round" and then after the last line everyone swings the last person they picked and the two left in the outer circle swing each other. It's a lot of fun with a large group of kids.
