Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream with me
[Verse 2]
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes the mornin'
We roll along
Maybe blue skies above
Everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me
[Verse 3]
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That's a lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger for a while
In the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, baby
Dream a dream of me
[Verse 4]
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes a brand new mornin'
Where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But as long as we're in love
Yeah, we'll be up a lazy river
How happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me
From the halfway mark, yeah
[Verse 5]
Up a lazy river where that robin's song
Awakes the bright new mornin'
We can roll along
Ah, there are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love
We'll be up a lazy river
Up a crazy, lazy river
Up a lazy river
I ain't goin' your way
Get outta my way
Up a lazy river with me
