I Want My River Back

(Tasha, Pablo, Tyrone and Austin)

Tasha:

I want my river back, I want my river back
I sure do miss my water, Jack I want my river back...
Used to be big, tall palm trees
Boys:
Now there's nothing but dust!
Tasha:
Green grass blowing in the breeze
Boys:
Now there's nothing but dust!
Tasha:
Great thick reeds up to my knees, Egyptian birds and Egyptian bees,
Pharaohs going by on water skis...
Boys:
Now there's nothing but dust!
Tasha:
I want my river back, I want my river back
Fresh water's what I lack, I want my river back...
For one thing I fell thirsty, or another thing I feel hot
And some folks like to feel that way, but I myself do not!
Pablo:
That's why we're off to see the Sphinx
Tyrone:
To give her those gifts, ask what she thinks
Austin:
She'll bring back the river and we'll have some drinks
Boys:
We'll have our river back
Tasha:
I want my river back, I want my river back
There's no time to stand and yack, I want my river back...
Boys:
Oh yeah, she wants her river back...
Tasha:
I want my river back
Boys:
Don't give her any flack
Tasha:
I want my river back...
