Short & Curly - Do the River Walk Lyrics

When you're in a muddle with your soul so blue
Like you're in a puddle with a hole in your shoe
Your car won't start, you're down at heart
And gettin' it together is fallin' apart
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do

Take it slow past the rapids, straight around the bend
Start at the beginning, when you get to the end
If every mangy stranger isn't lookin' like a friend
Turn a-right around, go strollin' back again
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do

Because an old man river is sadly depleted
By the careless way it's mistreated
But an old man river is never defeated
Do-the do-the, do-the do-the, do-the do-the
Do the river walk

I used to go places deep in my sleep
[He'll be halfway to the river and still a-countin' sheep]
But it's better etiquette than being seen around the town
[In your green gumboots and a purple dressing gown]
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do

'Cause it's all water, water, water, water under the bridge
You oughta oughta oughta oughta oughta follow that ridge
Do the river walk, do the river walk
'Cause you're never goin' backward by the flowin' Blackwood
When you do-the do-the, do-the do-the, do-the do-the
Do the river walk
