Lyrics
Up a lazy river by the old mill streamLazy river in the noon day sunLinger awhile in the shade of a treeThrow away your troubles, dream with me.Up a lazy river where the robin’s songWakes the mornin’, we roll along.Make me blue skies above,Everyone’s in loveUp a lazy river, how happy we’ll beUp a lazy river with me.Up a lazy river by the old mill runThat’s a lazy, lazy river in the noonday sunYou can linger for a while in the shade of a tree.Throw!, away your troubles, baby, dream a dream of me.Up a lazy river, where the robin’s songWakes a brand new mornin’ where we can roll along.There may be blue skies up aboveBut as long as we’re in loveYah, we’ll be up a lazy river, how happy we could be,Up a lazy river with me.(We’re half way home)Yeah, up a lazy river where the robin’s songAwakes a brand new mornin’, we can roll along.A-a-a, threre are blue skies up aboveAnd as long as we’re in love,We’ll be up a lazy river,Up a crazy river,Up a lazy river,I ain’t goin’ your way,Get out’a my way,Up a lazy river with me…
