# There's a boat race

down the river #

# There's a slow boat

on my mind #

# Everybody's goin' like crazy #

# I'm takin' my own sweet time #

# I'll drift down

the Big Shark River #

# Take a boat ride on the bay #

# Just tryin' to find

a little peace of mind #

# Down in the Everglades #

# There ain't

gonna be no hurry #

# There ain't

gonna be no rush #

#Just lazy style

like a crocodile #

# Playin' in

the mangrove brush #

# And I'll float on

down the river #

# And let the speedboats

speed away #

# I'll drift around

makin' gator sounds #

# Down in the Everglades #

# While the big crowd

down the river #

# Is gettin' drunk

on sea grape wine #

# I'm gettin' high

watchin' eagles fly #

# Havin' myself a time #

# I whet my whistle

every now and then #

# With a sip of cool Gatorade #

# Watch the sun go down

and let the world go around #

# Down in the Everglades #

# There ain't

gonna be no hurry #

# There ain't

gonna be no rush #

# Just a lazy style

like a crocodile #

# Playin' in

the mangrove brush #

# And I'll float on

down the river #

# And let the speedboats

speed away #

# I'll drift around

makin' gator sounds #

# Down in the Everglades #

# I'll drift around

makin' gator sounds #

# Down in the Everglades ##
