Hazed out, raised up, sailin' on the water
With the two moons, two moons
I got a tree up above, tree down below
And in the middle I'm singing this tune
And it is too good to be true
It's all the shades of blue
I'm singin' for you a Mississippi serenade
I'm gonna ease down in the cool water
From the cool kiss, the kiss of the air
Gonna cry like a fish, talk like a bush
When the breeze blows, I'll follow it somewhere
And I will be back soon with my old pal the moon
We'll be dancin' to the Mississippi serenade
Sometimes it goes ladadadadadadadada....,
Sometimes it goes heyheyheyhey - hey
Sometimes I sing it all night
Sometimes it just fa-a-a-a-ades away
Why don't you grab your husband or grab your wife
It's time for dancin' and dancin' and dancin'
In the only way you get to hold each other so tight
For some sweet romancin'
And the kids won't make a peep
If they do you sing them all to sleep
With the Mississippi serenade
I been hazed out, raised up, sailin' on the water
With the two moons, two moons
I've got a tree up above and a tree down below
And in the middle I'm singing this tune
And it is too good to be true
It's all the shades of blue
I'm singin' for you a Mississippi serenade
Yes, it's too good to be true
It's all the shades of blue
It's just the Mississippi serenade
Well, it's too good to be true
Badabada, babadada...
