CAN I CANOE YOU UP THE RIVER
(Marjorie Goetschius & Edna Osser)
Billy Cotton & His Band
V. Alan Breeze & chorus




(Alan)
Can I canoe you up the river
Can I canoe you up the stream
Can I canoe you up the river
Like I did in last night痴 dream


We値l drift a moment in the moonlight
I値l fish for little things to say
And with the help of Mr. Moonlight
Maybe you値l see things my way


I tried to tell you how I care
But never made the grade
Now things might change if I could have
A setting for my serenade


So, can I canoe you up the river
I値l be as nice as I can be
And hope that while we池e up the river
You値l go overboard for me


(Chorus)
Can he canoe you up the river
Can he canoe you up the stream
Can he canoe you up the river


(Alan)
Like I did in last night痴 dream


(Chorus)
You値l drift a moment in the moonlight
You値l fish for little things to say
And with the help of Mr. Moonlight


(Alan)
Maybe you値l see things my way


I tried to tell you how I care
But never made the grade
Now things might change if I could have
A setting for my serenade


So, can I canoe you up the river
I値l be as nice as I can be
And hope that while we池e up the river
You値l go overboard for me
