Down By The Lazy River

What are ya doin' tonight?
Ya got no place to go.
Gotta get out of the city,
Why dont'cha come along with me?

Mighty fine out tonight,
Get your girl and hold her tight.
We can take it nice and easy,
you know it won't be long till we'll be, we'll be...

Down by the lazy river,
come as you please.
Down by the lazy river,
one big family.

If you're all alone, you won't be long.
Just bring your guitar
and sing your song.
Down by the lazy river,
everybody follow me.

Better make up your mind,
get the show on the road.
We're gonna have a party,
come along or you'll be sorry, sorry.

You know there's plenty of room,
come on and sing a
boom boom boom.
We can get nice and cozy,
why don't you come along and mosey...

on down,
I said down,
come on down,
I'm goin'

Down by the lazy river,
come as you please.
Down by the lazy river,
one big family.

If you're all alone,
you won't be long.
Just bring your guitar
and sing your song.
Down by the lazy river
Everybody follow me.
