Lyrics
Yeah, ha ha
Sure, Trummy
Ah ha
Way down, way down, way down
Oh, up the lazy river where the old mill run
Up the lazy river with the noonday sun
Lingerin' in the shade of a kind ole tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me, dream a dream of me
Up the lazy river where the robin's song
Two bright lights as we stroll long
Blue skies up above, mmm, the one I love
Up the lazy river, how happy we will be, mama, yeah
Yes, up a lazy river
(Scat singing)
Yeah, yes, ha ha ha
Man, if I ain't riffin' this evenin', ha ha
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Up the lazy river, oh you river
Mmm you river, oh you dog river
Look out there, Billy Kyle
Modulate, daddy, modulate
