Lazy River Lyrics

Bobby Darin

Lazy River
Bobby Darin
(Sid Arodin & Hoagy Carmichael)

- (#14 in 1961)

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

Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes the mornin', we roll along.
Make me blue skies above,
Everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me.

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That's a lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun
You can linger for a while in the shade of a tree.
Throw!, away your troubles, baby, dream a dream of me.

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
Yah, we'll be up a lazy river, how happy we could be,
Up a lazy river with me.
-----------
(we're half way home)
----------
Yeah, up a lazy river where the robin's song
Awakes a brand new mornin', we can roll along.
A-a-a, threre are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love,
We'll be up a lazy river,
Up a crazy river,
Up a lazy river,
I ain't goin' your way,
Get out'a my way,
Up a lazy river with me....
