027 - Lazy River
Verse
I like la-zy weath-er,
I like la-zy days;
Can’t be blamed for hav-ing la-zy ways.
Some old la-zy riv-er
sleeps be-side my door,
whis-p’ring to the sun-lit shore.
Chorus
Up a la-zy riv-er by the old mill-run,
that la-zy, la-zy riv-er in the noon-day sun.
Lin-ger in the shade of a kind old tree;
throw a-away your trou-bles, dream a dream with me.
Up a la-zy riv-er where the rob-in’s song
a-wakes a bright new morn-ing, we can roll a-long.
Blue skies up a-bove, ev’ry-one’s in love;
up a la-zy riv-er, how hap-py you can be,
up a la-zy riv-er with me.
(Altos, Tenors and Basses singing harmony part)
Up a la-zy riv-er by the old mill-run,
that la-zy, la-zy riv-er in the noon-day sun.
Lin-ger in the shade of a kind old tree;
throw a-away your trou-bles, dream a dream with me.
Up a la-zy riv-er where the rob-in’s song
a-wakes a bright new morn-ing, we can roll a-long.
Blue skies up a-bove, ev’ry-one’s in love;
up a la-zy riv-er, how hap-py you can be,
up a la-zy riv-er with me.
A song considered a jazz and pop standard by Hoagy Carmichael and Sidney Arodin, published in 1930
