Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy, lazy river in the new day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me.

You know, before your sister was born
This is what your mama did for a living
Music over the whole new world to me
No matter how bad I feel, no matter how sad or sick I am
I just touched these keys and,
Oh, like magic
I've always seemed to feel better
I've always known you had talent, Bobbie
This piano is for you
Charlie worked hard for it
??? so much
So you gotta make up for it later

How happy you can be
Up a lazy river with me

Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me.

Up a lazy river with me

From the half way mark

To be a star, a big star
You gotta be talented obviously
You gotta be tenacious, have charisma
But most importantly, you gotta have it
A great, intangible, and you've got it all, Bobbie
You're gonna be bigger than Sinatra
??? mama, mama, mama

A-a-a, threre are blue skies up above
Forever 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 out'a my way,
Up a lazy river with me....
