The River Valley Down by the river where the green grass grows where the sun always shines, and everybody goes We all live in a purple house we live there with that orange mouse he calls himself a cal-trans worker but he aint nothin but a dirty shirker he stands around and he taunts that cat poor old cat don't know where he's at he gone blind some seven years ago don't know how, no I don't know Down by the river where the green grass grows, where the sun always shines, and everybody goes. Sometimes we're visited by a mockingbird occasionally he whispers, but he's always heard He's not from tasmainia He's from west virginai he came here on vaca decided to stay I doubt that he's leaving anytime soon for he's gone mad as a loon. Down by the river where the green grass grows, where the sun always shines, and everybody goes. Now we all live in this house cat, mockingbird, me and mouse Here where grass is green and day's are long we just relax and smoke a bong We'd all love to stay here if we can relax in the grass and get a tan we're all here happy as can be Mockingbird, cat, mouse and me. Down by the river where the green grass grows, where the sun always shines, and everybody goes....I love it!!! 8/10/94 fulgin
