Take Me to the River |
| You know, everybody’s got a fantasy |
| I got a thing, you got a thing |
| You know what I’m talkin' about? |
| But let me tell you about my thing |
| I’ve always had this fantasy |
| About goin' to the planet of Venus |
| And visit Venus, queen of love |
| And swim with her |
| In the famous River of Love |
| So one night while I was asleep |
| I must’ve been dreamin' |
| 'Cause I heard a voice, it said: |
| You have been elected |
| To take a trip afar and go galactic |
| And Venus is your destination |
| The Venus with love, your space connection |
| Is this really paradise I’m in |
| And are you really standin' here next to me |
| And does your river flow with love so deep |
| Girl, will you take a swim with me |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me to the river, yeah |
| Baby, why don’t you come |
| Why don’t you come with me |
| Rock 'n rollin' with the tide |
| Oh, yeah, let me be |
| Your mighty macho man, hey |
| Baby bubba |
| Shake your, shake your booty, baby |
| I’d really sock it |
| I’d really sock it to you, mama |
| I know you love me |
| I know you really love me, baby |
| You know, by this time |
| She didn’t quite understand my language |
| Comin' from a distant place |
| You know, all this slang I use |
| But I know she understood |
| Where I was comin' from |
| And I know she dug it |
| 'Cause when I smiled at her, she smiled at me |
| And you know, being the gentleman |
| That I am and everything |
| I didn’t wanna just take advantage of the lady |
| I sat there, I talked to her |
| And I asked her, I said: |
| Is it wrong to touch your pretty hair |
| And is it wrong to say that love is fair |
| And is it wrong for me to be a man |
| And is it wrong to wanna touch your hand |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me, take me to the river, baby |
| Take me to the river, oh, yeah |
| Tell me, why don’t you come |
| Why don’t you come with me |
| Rock 'n rollin' with the tide |
| That’s right, oh, yeah, let me be |
| Your mighty macho man |
| Take me to the river, your river |
| Give me your hand |
| Let me be your mighty macho man |
| I’ll make everything all right |
| Rock 'n rollin' with the tide |
| Take me to the river |
| Baby bubba |
| Shake your, shake your booty, baby |
| I’d really sock it |
| I’d really sock it to you, mama |
| I know you love me |
| I know you really love me, baby |
| Take me, take me |
| Take me to the river, take me |
| To swim with Venus, queen of love |
| Take me, take me |
| Take me to the river, take me |
| I wanna go galactic with you, baby |
| Take me, take me |
| Take me to the river, take me |
| Let me be your mighty macho man |
| Take me, take me, oh, baby mama |
| Take me to the river, take me… |
