.Spoken sample: While whats in the river (?) tonight. (?) Cincinnati (?) Sung: You've got to fix the boat Or get out and swim You don't sit there, bitching, sinking Clean up that mess you're in! Don't waste another minute With your howls and moans You don't do yourself no favors Pick up those lazy bones When your river's run its course The jungle vines are thick When the native beastie's hungry Better pick a larger stick Don't stand on deck bemoaning All that you might lose When the crocodiles are hungry Now's not the time to snooze When your river's run its course The jungle vines are thick When the native beastie's hungry Better pick a larger stick You can't stand on deck bemoaning All that you might lose When the crocodiles are hungry It's not the time to snooze You've got to fix the boat Or get out and swim Don't sit there, bitching, sinking Clean up that mess you're in! Don't waste another minute With your howls and moans You don't do yourself no favors Pick up those lazy bones Spoken sample: Next week, Pat O'Malley will be back at the (swimming pool?) with another original Syncopated Travelogue.
