Aurelio Voltaire Don't Go By The River
Dont go by the river
If you love your wife
'cause you'll make that girl a widow
And you'll cause her pain and strife
Hell, if you go by the riverside you'll lose your l-l-l-l-life!
People by the river
They know who's the boss
They'll get at fancy city folk
No matter what the cost
And if you go by the riverside, you'll end up l-l-l-l-lost!
There's a bat they call Lestat
Who will sink his teeth in you
You might meet a creature
From the swampy black lagoon
And if the moon is full
You might meet the Loop Garou!
Dont go by the riverside!
You'll be sorry if you do!
A young man met a lady
And she made this fellow swoon
So they went on down to New Orleans
To elope under the moon
He took her by the riverside to giver her the heir-l-l-l-l-loom!
Well the next day he got out of bed
And she wasn't by his side
He searched the quarter high and low
And the bayou far and wide
The locals say she ran away
But y'know they l-l-l-l-lied!
There's a bat they call Lestat
Who will sink his teeth in you
You might meet a creature
From the swampy black lagoon
And if the moon is full
You might meet the Loop Garou!
Dont go by the riverside!
You'll be sorry if you do!
Whos shivers when they hear my voodoo?
Dont lie to me boy! I know you do!
You better tremble when you hear me call!
'cause you'll make a lovely shrunken head
You'll be my favorite voodoo doll! Haha!
Sting went by the river
Now he slings on burben street
And there's that song by Concrete Blonde
About where it's warm and green
And fi you go by the riverside
You'll never l-l-l-l-leave!
There's a bat they call Lestat
Who will sink his teeth in you
You might meet a creature
From the swampy black lagoon
And if the moon is full
You might meet the Loop Garou!
Dont go by the riverside!
Dont go by the riverside!
I'm singin' dont go by that riverside
He said dont go by the riverside!
Dont go by the riverside!
Why's that?
'Cause you'll meet me if you do!
