Moving The River

You surely are a truly gifted kid

But you're only as good as

The last great thing you did

And where've you been since then?

Did the schedule get you down?

I hear you've got a new girlfriend

How's the wife taking it ?

If it's uphill all the way

You should be used to it by now

You must know me, father it's your son

And I know that you are proud

Of everything I've done

But it's the wonders I perform

Pulling rabbits out of hats

When sometimes I'd prefer

Simply to wear them

If it's uphill all the way

You should be used to it and say

My back is broad enough sir

To take the strain and it's

Hello mother, it's your son

And aren't you proud, of all I've done?

But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free

And I can't break dance on your knee

But it's stay right there son, baby do

While eye is itchin' for something new

So watch me hawkeye understand

The force of will, the sleight of hand

Movin' the river

I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free

And I can't break dance on your knee

Movin' the river

Bucket by spoon, and do you think

That they'll like me when they learn what I do

Movin' the river

Money for jam

But it takes such an effort to stay where I am

But it's stay right there son, baby do

While eye is itchin' for something new

Watch me hawkeye understand

The force of will, the sleight of hand

Movin' the river

I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free

Movin' the river

And I can't break dance on your knee

Movin' the river

Movin' the river

Movin' the river

Movin' the river
