He Sang A New Song
He sang a new song that brightened up the day
He sang his new song that brightened up the day
And on that day, he went away
Now in his travels, he sailed, he sailed
Now in his travels, he sailed right along
To find a young maiden, he'd sworn to love her
He'd sworn to love her so true, so true
He'd love this young maiden and dance in the sun
He'd love this young maiden and they would be one
They met by a river, a beautiful site
They cuddled while it flowed on into the night
An owl flew by and this he did say
An owl flew by and he did say
To swim would be fine on this good night
To swim is divine, tonight, tonight
They jumped into the river, the maiden and he
They jumped into the river and swam with glee
He sang his new song that brightened up the night
And he swam with his maiden in the river with delight
Now the owl was evil and owed the river a favor
The river, it roared, it tossed, it spit
The lovers then wished, that they were fish
The changed that very day, so fish they were
And they swam away
The owl didn't know of this miraculous event
His favor was done
His time well spent
Two dead humans meant nothing to him
And the river had fish
And the lovers did love
And in a river, in a river
A song was sung
