the river

when we moved to Africa

we couldn’t eat no dinner

wandering and wandering

and bathing in the river

when we moved to Budapest

we couldn’t get no thinner

wandering and wandering

and fishing in the river

when we moved to Lebanon

we were seen as sinners

wandering and wandering

and drowning in the river

sleeping like bats

feasting on rats

prowling like cats

and drowning in the river
