Whether laying yourself down beside it
or slipping into it's cool and rushing effects
or drifting on it to where it broadens
your admiration for it's more elusive aspects

Being drawn on by it
carried under carried away
by its long-term membership

By the time the ice-huts hit the bottom
we were already home in bed
the most worthy men and the fiercest architects
couldn't fight the current they couldn't save, they couldn't savethe sheds

Chorus

Bring on the springtime bring on the houseflies
bring on the butterscotch river overspilling its banks
if you got some withering power to amuse
you'll find its greatest frustration has its entertaining value

Chorus

river wide
river wonder us
