Yea Yea, I think I heard you
Yea Yea, I think I heard you
Oh Lord, I think I heard you
Yea Yea, I think I heard you
Yea Yea, I think I heard you
Oh Lord, I think I heard you
So what was on the face of the raging river that passed me by
Do I turn around, do I turn my eye to the sun
In the apex of the high high noon
I'm on a flatbed yellow pickup underneath the half moon
Cut me, cut me, cut me some slack, Jack
And jump on the back, if you can handle the candle
Than you can handle the wax
Your just going to get sacked
It's as simple as that.
But before I know it I'm going down this little bitty river
In a boat a little bigger than a bath tub
My bones begin to shiver 'cause I'm makin' to deliver
This water that I must give her, can I get some?
Yea Yea, I think I heard you
Yea Yea, I think I heard you
Oh Lord, I think I heard you
(I think I heard you, yea)
Down by the railway station
People move a new direction
Take a ticket from who you can
And then drive that train
(Repeat)
She was a black Tai bombshell out of Bombay
She was easy on the eyes so I had nothing to say
Said take you out and tell the Leprachaun man
"You got to the bell rings three, and do you understand?"
Little piece of me wants to go (I don't know)
Turn around and what do you do? (I don't know)
Look at me, what do you do? (I don't know)
DING DONG DING
(That's the bell)
And I know you know I know I don't know you very well
But if I did I would groove, and hit the ground running
But I don't, and I won't, so you got another thing coming
He kicked up the river with a flick of his wrist
I popped him in the kisser cause he couldn't resist
I said to my sidekick, I'm up to my high wick
And now I'm getting a little homesick
So before I know it I'm going down this little bitty river
In a boat a little bigger than a bath tub
My bones begin to shiver 'cause I'm makin' to deliver
This water that I must give her, can I get some?
before I know it I'm going down this little bitty river

Oh Lord, I think I heard you
(I think I heard you, yea)
Down by the railway station
People move a new direction
Take a ticket from who you can
And then drive that train
(Repeat)
Drive it, Drive it
I said now, Drive it, Drive it.
I said now, Drive it, Drive it.
You've got to drive your train
Ride it, Ride it.
I said now Ride it, Ride it.
I said now Ride it, Ride it.
You've got to ride your train
Yea Yea, (now ride it, you've got to ride it,
ya know what I'm talkin' about)
