Life Is Fine

I went down to the river,

I sat down on the bank.

I tried to think but couldn’t,

So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!

I came up twice and cried!

If that water hadn’t a-been so cold,

I might’ve sunk and died.

But it was cold in that water,

It was cold.

I took the elevator,

Sixteen floors above the ground!

I thought about my baby

And though I would jump down.

I stood and hollered!

I stood there and cried!

If it hadn’t a-been so high

I might’ve jumped and died.
