Well, oh well (LISTEN)

Life is fast but the river’s slow. Starin’ at the pretty fishes down below - well oh well, what strange cargo - playing solitaire on your portmanteau! Well, oh well where you goin’ to, floating down the river in a red canoe? Mercy be, what’s become of me? Listen to the wildlife singin’ “dee dee dee”. Don’t ever look back (love me)

I don’t need a pile of strife; gold watch and a pocket-knife. I don’t need an afterlife, I just need you to be my wife. Well, oh well where you goin’ to? Floating down the river in a red canoe. Well oh well, may I join you? Listen to the wildlife sing “too-whit too-whoo”. Don’t ever look back (love me)
