Hey now, won't you come with me
I got something I think you ought to see
It ain't too far and it won't take long
Just take my hand and come along
Stop at the corner and grab a little beer
I got my pipe and a baggy full of cheer
Headed down to the riverside
Just laying around watching time go by
Down by the riverside
The shadows growing long
It's down by the riverside
It's where we all belong
Kick back and enjoy a summer day
There's no time to work
There's only time for play
We're splashing around by the river's edge
We're skinny dipping and diving off a ledge
Down by the riverside
The shadows growing long
It's down by the riverside
It's where we all belong
Night falls but the day keeps going on
Bon lite fire and we all sing along
Loving you just comes so naturally
Ain't it great to be alive and free
Down by the riverside
The shadows growing long
It's down by the riverside
It's where we all belong
