Sparks - I Bought the Mississippi River lyrics
[Sparks - I Bought the Mississippi River lyrics]
I bought the Mississippi River
Of course that don't 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 I'd better
Grab that river fast it wouldn't last
They never do, they never do
It wouldn't last, last, last
So now I own the Mississippi
I couldn't 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 I'd have to have the
Mississippi sent back East, complete
With boat and crew that wouldn't do, do, do
It's mine, all mine
(You know, it's yours, all yours)
It's mine, all mine
(You know, it's yours, all yours)
Do rivers ever need companions
Should I inquire 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 didn't make an error
I hope this ain't a lot more trouble
Than it's all really worth
Of course that don't 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 I'd better
Grab that river fast it wouldn't last
They never do, they never do
It wouldn't last, last, last
So now I own the Mississippi
I couldn't 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 I'd have to have the
Mississippi sent back East, complete
With boat and crew that wouldn't do, do, do
It's mine, all mine
(You know, it's yours, all yours)
It's mine, all mine
(You know, it's yours, all yours)
Do rivers ever need companions
Should I inquire 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 didn't make an error
I hope this ain't a lot more trouble
Than it's all really worth
