Can I Canoe You Up The River?
Composer(s): Marjorie Goetschius - Edna Osser
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



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's dream
We'll drift a moment in the moonlight
I'll fish for little things to say
And with the help of Mr. Moonlight
Maybe you'll 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'll be as nice as I can be
And hope that while we're up the river
You'll go overboard for me
Can he canoe you up the river
Can he canoe you up the stream
Can he canoe you up the river
Like I did in last night? dream
You'll drift a moment in the moonlight
You'll fish for little things to say
And with the help of Mr. Moonlight
Maybe you'll 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'll be as nice as I can be
And hope that while we're up the river
You'll go overboard for me
