[edit] The last line

I've always thought the last line was "Like a submarine", but I'll accept that "Life is but a dream" is more likely, given the apparent age of the song, and the fact that submarines are not designed to be rowed. Rwxrwxrwx 15:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The metaphor paragraph desperately needs to be sourced according to No Original Research. Pvodenski 21:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tré Cool's version

I doubt that the version attributed to Tre Cool is his own work. I had been singing those lyrics since about 1994: way before anyone had ever heard of Tre. If no one can produce evidence that the lyrics are his, I'll remove reference to him (but leave the lyrics, of course). Dotancohen 09:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] A verry weird version found in Quebec

It is just that I don't know it I should put it in the article...
Lone long submarine
Swim as long you can
Swim and swim and swim and swim

[edit] Additional verse question

Are the additional verses part of the original setting, or have they been added over time? Either way, this should be explained in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.62.98.200 (talk) 17:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Music score

This would more properly be represented in 12/8 or 6/8 time. The tied dotted quavers and semiquavers should be crotchet-quaver or quaver-semiquaver groups instead. Try counting it! --Rfsmit (talk) 23:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
