Lyrics
Chorus
We’re gwine to float in a boat on the Mississippi, all day long
We’re gwine to glide on the tide of the Mississippi, all day long
And when the sun goes down at night
We’re gwine to cuddle up nice and tight
Then we’ll spoon ‘neath the moon on the Mississippi
Man in the moon’s sure to think we’re “dippy”
There on the air of the Mississippi, all day long
You’re sure to hear, if you’re near
Such a tender loving tune
And if you care to listen
She won’t care, I won’t care
We’ll be such a happy and contented pair
While we’re on our Mississippi honeymoon
Performance
