I Want My River Back – Backyardigans – letras

I want my river backI want my river backI sure do miss my water, JackI want my river backUsed to be big, tall palm treesNow, there’s nothing but dust!Green grass blowing in the breezeNow, there’s nothing but dust!Great thick reeds up to my kneesEgyptian birds and Egyptian beesPharaohs going by on water skisNow, there’s nothing but dust!I want my river backI want my river backFresh water’s what I lackI want my river backFor one thing I feel thirstyor another thing I feel hotAnd some folks like to feel that waybut I myself do not!That’s why we’re off to see the SphinxTo give her those gifts, ask what she thinks!She’ll bring back the riverand we’ll all have drinks!We’ll have our river backI want my river backI want my river backThere’s no time to stand and yackI want my river backOh yeah, she wants her river backI want my river backDon’t give her any flackI want my river back
