Everything is wonderful
Everything flows Soul to Soul,
Every heart grows more and more

Down by the river, down by the river
Down by the rivershore
Down by the river, down by the river
Down by the rivershore

Everybody's beautiful
Everybody's mighty strong
Everybody knows where they belong
Down by the river ...

All the burdens float away
All the sorrows they set sail
And all the dogs wag their tails
Down by the river ...

Come on down to the river
And lay your weary head to rest
Come on down to the river
And join the singing waters travelling west

The sun is smiling down
Melting away the slightest frown
The dust is blowing out of town
Down by the river ...

Nothing will disturb the peace
Everybody's real at ease
Noisy children trading beads
Down by the river ...
