No Earthly Way Of Knowing

No Earthly Way Of Knowing is a song from some films in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (storage).

1971 version
Wonka: 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!

Whoa

2017 version
Tuffy: 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!

Whoa

Now its time to STOP THE BOAT!
