Intro

And I say A-A-A-Antoon Paul Sinha

Verse 1

It's thirty degrees outside

There are so many ladies around me

I must whistle at them

We don't need to head south

But we can use my boat

There's already quite a lot in my system

I need to use my head

For when the cops pop up

'Cause I don't have a boating license

But I do have lots of booze with ice

We'll lock the canal down

This is the best time

And I say hey hey hey

Chorus 1

I've got a little boat in my harbor

If you're down we'll go sailing

Call your friends then we'll go together

So I say hey

I've got some drinks in my cooler

And I've got Bluetooth in my boombox

Super wavy without a tidal wave

Hey

Chorus 1

And I say hey

I've got a little boat in my harbor

So I say hey

And I say hey

I've got a little boat in my harbor

Verse 2

Come, I can show you

Handing out shots like it's my job

Saint-Tropez but right here in the harbor

We don't head south, but we're loaded

You can see me on the water

All through the city from South to North

The harbor master doesn't need to know anything

We're mooring, so just hop aboard

'Cause I don't have a boating license

But I do have lots of booze with ice

We'll lock the canal down

This is the best time

And I say hey hey hey

Chorus 2

I've got a little boat in my harbor

If you're down we'll go sailing

Call your friends then we'll go together

So I say hey

I've got some drinks in my cooler

And I've got Bluetooth in my boombox

Super wavy without a tidal wave

Hey

Chorus 2

And I say hey

I've got a little boat in my harbor

So I say hey

And I say hey

I've got a little boat in my harbor

SONG MEANING

Bootje sails straight into feel-good territory, dropping listeners onto a sun-lit canal where Antoon and Paul Sinha throw the ultimate pop-up party. The pair have no sailing license, but who cares? They have a boat, a cooler packed with cold drinks, Bluetooth speakers pumping, and a phone ready to ring every friend who’s feeling down. One shout of hey turns the quayside into a floating festival and their local harbor into a mini Saint Tropez.

Beyond its catchy hook, the song celebrates simple freedoms: friendship, summer heat, and the thrill of bending a few rules while keeping the vibe lighthearted. It paints scenes of waving to passers-by, cruising from south to north, and docking wherever the mood strikes. Bootje reminds us that adventure can start right at your own dock – all you need is music, mates, and the courage to say step on board!
