There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction they are going!
There's no knowing where they're rowing,
Or which way they river's flowing!
Not a speck of light is showing,
So the danger must be growing,
For the rowers keep on rowing,
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing...

I seem to remember there were more lines to this one... or were those just added for the Willy Wonka movie... -

For Guest Rob
I am tempted to reply "there's no earthly way of knowing"
However our researchers are usually thorough and will have printed Dahl's published version. It is also the version on the Dahl fan's own website.
It does strike me though, with the ellipsis at the end, that Dahl was hinting at more to follow so PERHAPS he (or others) did add to it and that is what you have seen.
