Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Oh, Lord, I think I heard you

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Oh, Lord, I think I heard you

[Verse 2]

So all of a sudden, I'm facing the raging river that passed me by

Do I turn around, do I turn my eye to the sun?

In the apex of the high, high noon

I'm on a flatbed yellow pickup underneath the half moon

Cut me, cut me, cut me some slack, Jack

And jump on the back if you can handle the candle

Then you can't handle the wax

You're just gonna get sacked, it's as simple as that

[Verse 3]

But before I know it, I'm going down this little bitty river

In a boat a little bigger than a bath tub

My bones begin to shiver, 'cause I'm aching to deliver

This water that I must give her, can I get some?

[Verse 4]

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Oh, Lord, I think I heard you

(I think I heard you, yeah)

[Verse 5]

Down by the railway station, people move a new direction

Take a ticket from who you can and then drive that train

Down by the railway station, people move a new direction

Take a ticket from who you can and then drive that train

[Verse 6]

She was a black Thai bombshell out of Bombay

She was easy on the eyes so I had nothing to say

Said take you water to the Leprechaun man

You got to the bell, rings three, do you understand?

Little piece of me wants to go (I don't know)

Turn around and what do you do? (I don't know)

Look at me, what do you do? (I don't know)

Ding-dong-ding (That's the bell)

And I know you know, I know I don't know you very well

But I did, I would groove and hit the ground running

But I don't and I won't, so you've got another thing coming

[Verse 7]

He kicked up the river with a flick of his wrist

I popped him in the kisser 'cause I couldn't resist

I said to my sidekick I'm up to my high wick

And now I'm getting a little homesick

[Verse 8]

So before I know it, I'm going down this little bitty river

In a boat a little bigger than a bath tub

My bones begin to shiver, 'cause I'm aching to deliver

This water that I must give her, can I get some?

Before I know it, I'm going down this little bitty river

In a boat a little bigger than a bath tub

My bones begin to shiver, 'cause I'm aching to deliver

This water that I must give her, can I get some?

[Verse 9]

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Yeah, yeah, I think I heard you

Oh, Lord, I think I heard you

(I think I heard you, yeah)

[Verse 10]

Down by the railway station, people move a new direction

Take a ticket from who you can and then drive that train

Down by the railway station, people move a new direction

Take a ticket from who you can and then drive that train

[Verse 11]

Drive it, drive it

I said now, drive it, drive it

I said now, drive it, drive it

You've got to drive your train

Ride it, ride it

I said now, ride it, ride it

I said now, ride it, ride it

You've got to ride your train

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ride it now)

(You've got to ride it)

(You know what I'm talkin' about?)
