Up A Lazy River

“(Up A) Lazy River” is by Hoagy Carmichael and Sidney Arodin, published in 1930.
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
The lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind, old tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me

Up a lazy river where the robin’s song
Awaits the bright new morning, where we can move along
Blue skies up above, everyone’s in love
Up a lazy river, how happy you could be
Up a lazy river with me

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
The lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind, old tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me
