I Bought The Mississippi River

I bought the
Mississippi
River Of course that dont include the towns or the people around the
Mississippi
Well, to cinch the deal the man threw in a boat with crew and then
I knew Id better grab that river fast
It wouldnt last
They never do, they never do
It wouldnt last, last, last
So now I own the
Mississippi
I couldnt decide if
I should leave it there or lug it out
West with me
The best thing was to think about it, not to make a move
I might regret cause then
Id have to have the
Mississippi sent back
East, complete with boat and crew
That wouldnt do, do, do
Its mine, all mine (You know, its yours, all yours)
Its mine, all mine (You know, its yours, all yours)
Do rivers ever need companions
Should I enquire if the
Seine is available, yeah,
I would rather have a classy little
Frenchy than a
Nile or a
Tybo, oh Now wait a minute, how about the
Amazon, now that could be real fun
For Mississippi, for
Mississippi, for
Mississippi,
My Mississippi
I hope that
I didnt make an error
I hope this aint a lot more trouble than its all really worth
