Can you tell me a story of a place you'd come to know
Down in the river valley where all the fish had gone afloat
In the meantime we would walk, talk, walk along John
And search for meaning to it all
Welp the kids they all believe
If you touch the water then you'll never leave
Singing
Do wop do wop do wop bop?
Drunken stumble down John Street
With a one-eyed cat under our feet
Ain't it funny ha ha to land in some muddy lagoon
They say your time has come too soon
Do wop do wop do wop bop?
