The Nits - Sugar River lyrics

On a sugar river Where the water is sweet Where the pebble is a mountain And the crab nibbles your feet Jellyfish, big jellyfish She's a man-of-war Jellyfish, big jellyfish He's a woman far (away) On a sugar river We are sitting in a boat Made of hollow trees that float Till the sugar is salt Jellyfish, big jellyfish She's a man-of-war Jellyfish, big jellyfish He's a woman far (away) When I touch her knee She smiles at me And pulls up the eyebrows My elbows will stay white this summer As long as I'm a tadpole And the green mouth sings (S) is a bend in the river (U) is a turn going back (G) is a snake in the water (A) is a bridge where we R Hibernation in the floating green weeds Hibernation in the floating green weeds When I touch her knee She smiles at me And pulls up the eyebrows My elbows will stay white this summer As long as I'm a tadpole And the green mouth sings Sugar Water Sugar Water Hibernation in the floating green weeds Hibernation in the floating green weeds On a sugar river On a sugar river
