You're goin' down the river
|
You're a little boy on a little boat
|
And the white sheets are blowing
|
They're blowing like all get out
|
No one can stop you now
|
No one can muss your hair
|
No one can criticize
|
No one can tell you lies
|
You can do whatever you want
|
You can say whatever you like
|
You can wear whatever you want
|
Your shirt is plaid, your pants are striped
|
|
This ain't no dying of the light
|
This ain't no final boarding call
|
This ain't no swan song
|
This is the promise of all
|
'Cause you're going down the river of life
|
|
You're a little boy on a little raft
|
And the white sheets are streaming back
|
There's figures on the river bank
|
They're all apologizing
|
But you don't have to worry now
|
You don't have to listen to them
|
You can say whatever you want
|
You can be whoever you like
|
You're free now you're free now
|
You can do whatever you like
|
Your shirt is plaid, your pants are striped
|
|
This ain't no dying of the light...
|
|
The river's going faster
|
Hey Huck, hold onto your hat
|
You'd better look out now
|
No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that
|
The flying fish are flying up
|
Flying up for you to see
|
There's bear on the riverbank
|
Fishing for those flying fish
|
Wishing for those flying fish
|
Don't you love those flying fish?
|
You're free now you're free now
|
You can say whatever you like
|
|
This ain't no dying of the light
|
This ain't no final boarding call
|
This ain't no swan song
|
This is the promise of all
|
'Cause you're going down the river of life
|
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
|
