Lyrics[]
Now here's a familiar tune we all know and love! And sitting in with us, those fabulous friends of ours, the Bullhorns!
Took you, went down to the city
As you walked by, they all stopped and smiled
Dancin' and a-singin' to the beat of the band
Saw pretty girls dancin' on the dock that day
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Jasper went down to the river
Workin' on the dock down in New Orleans
But he never saw the good side of the city
'Til he took a ride on the river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river (Munch: Rollin' on the river)
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river (Munch: Rollin' on the river)
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Okay, guys, let's slow it down more. Take it away, Chuck E.!
Chuck E.: Heh-heh, thanks, Helen! And a special crowd thanks to all my friends right here. Hands together please, for Mr. Munch on the keys...
Munch: Hey-hey!
Chuck E.: Pasqually, keepin' time so fine...
Pasqually: Thank you!
Chuck E.: Jasper T., the hound who gets down...
Jasper: YEAH!
Chuck E.: Helen Henny sings so sweet, makes ya tap the beat!
Helen: Thanks!
If you come down to the river (Munch: Yup, there we are!)
I bet y'all gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
The people on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river (Munch: Rollin' on the river)
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river (Munch: Love you just like that!)
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river (Munch: Rollin' on the river)
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river (Jasper: Hey!)
Rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin', (Munch: Rollin) rollin' on the river (Munch: A-rollin' on the river!)
