Sparks - I Bought the Mississippi River lyrics

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 inquire if the Seine is Available, yeah, I would rather have A cla**y 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.
