(Ron Mael) I bought the Mississippi River Of course that don`t include the towns or the people around the Mississippi Well, to cinch the deal the man threw in a boat with crew and then I knew I`d better grab that river fast It wouldn`t last They never do, they never do It wouldn`t last, last, last So now I own the Mississippi I couldn`t decide if I should leave it there or lug it out West with me The best thing was to think about it, not to make a move I might regret cause then I`d have to have the Mississippi sent back East, complete with boat and crew That wouldn`t do, do, do It`s mine, all mine (You know, it`s yours, all yours) It`s mine, all mine (You know, it`s yours, all yours) Do rivers ever need companions Should I enquire if the Seine is available, yeah, I would rather have a classy little Frenchy than a Nile or a Tybo, oh Now wait a minute, how about the Amazon, now that could be real fun For Mississippi, for Mississippi, for Mississippi, My Mississippi I hope that I didn`t make an error I hope this ain`t a lot more trouble than it`s all really worth |
