I Bought The Mississippi River Lyrics - Sparks

I bought the Mississippi River 

Of course that don't include the towns 

or the people 

around the Mississippi 

Well, to cinch the deal the man threw 

in a boat with crew 

and then I knew I'd better grab that 

river fast 

It wouldn't last 

They never do, they never do 

It wouldn't last, last, last

So now I own the Mississippi 

I couldn't decide if I should leave it there 

or lug it out West with me 

The best thing was to think about it, 

not to make a move I might regret 

cause then I'd have to have the 

Mississippi sent back East, complete 

with boat and crew 

That wouldn't do, do, do 

It's mine, all mine 

(You know, it's yours, all yours) 

It's mine, all mine 

(You know, it's yours, all yours)

Do rivers ever need companions 

Should I enquire if the Seine is 

available, yeah, I would rather have 

a classy little Frenchy than a Nile or 

a Tybo, oh 

Now wait a minute, how about the 

Amazon, now that could be real fun 

For Mississippi, for Mississippi, 

for Mississippi, My Mississippi 

I hope that I didn't make an error 

I hope this ain't a lot more trouble 

than it's all really worth
