I know you're out there, Mr. Shame.
I am calling your name, Mr. Shame.


There is no doubt,
You need to find out about the river,
But there's no covert scheme
To help you find your dream
To the River.


Down to the river.
Was this all some cry for love?
It's a cry for love.
Are you a victim of that money bug
In your blood?


Mr. Shame.


[ Chorus ]

Get down to the river!
I know you ache,
So come down to the river.
The River of Love, don't hesitate.


There's no mean devise or key to Paradise
To the river.
No price you can pay to help you find your way
To the river.


Down to the river.
Is this all some cry for love?
It's a cry for love.
Don't tell me you're a victim of that money bug
In your blood?


Mr. Shame.


[ Repeat Chorus ]
