《Messing About On the River》歌词

[00:00:00] Messing About On the River - Josh MacRay/Sophia Lauren

[00:00:07] When the weather is fine then you know it's a sign

[00:00:12] For messing about on the river

[00:00:16] If you take my advice there's nothing so nice

[00:00:20] As messing about on the river

[00:00:24] There are long boats and short boats and all sorts of craft

[00:00:28] And cruisers and keel boats and some with no draught

[00:00:32] So take off your coat and hop in a boat

[00:00:36] Go messing about on the river

[00:00:42] There are boats made from kits that reach you in bits

[00:00:46] For messing about on the river

[00:00:51] Or you might want to skull in a glass fibred hull

[00:00:55] Just messing about on the river

[00:00:59] There are tillers and rudders and anchors and cleats

[00:01:03] And ropes that are sometimes referred to as sheets

[00:01:07] With the wind in your face there's no finer place

[00:01:11] Than messing about on the river

[00:01:21] There are skippers and mates and rowing club eights

[00:01:26] Just messing about on the river

[00:01:30] There are pontoons and trots and all sorts of knots

[00:01:34] For messing about on the river

[00:01:38] With inboards and outboards and dinghies you sail

[00:01:42] The first thing you learn is the right way to bail

[00:01:47] In a one seat canoe you're the skipper and crew

[00:01:51] Just messing about on the river

[00:02:01] There are bridges and locks and moorings and docks

[00:02:05] When messing about on the river

[00:02:10] There's a whirlpool and weir that you mustn't go near

[00:02:14] When messing about on the river

[00:02:18] There are backwater places all hidden from view

[00:02:22] And quaint little islands just awaiting for you

[00:02:26] So I'll leave you right now to cast off your bow

[00:02:30] Go messing about on the river
