The Nits
Sugar River
On a sugar river
Where the water is sweet
Where the pebble is a mountain
And the crab nibbles your feet

Jellyfish, big jellyfish
She's a man-of-war
Jellyfish, big jellyfish
He's a woman far (away)

On a sugar river
We are sitting in a boat
Made of hollow trees that float
Till the sugar is salt

Jellyfish, big jellyfish
She's a man-of-war
Jellyfish, big jellyfish
He's a woman far (away)

When I touch her knee
She smiles at me
And pulls up the eyebrows
My elbows will stay white this summer
As long as I'm a tadpole
And the green mouth sings
(S) is a bend in the river
(U) is a turn going back
(G) is a snake in the water
(A) is a bridge where we
R

Hibernation in the floating green weeds
Hibernation in the floating green weeds

When I touch her knee
She smiles at me
And pulls up the eyebrows
My elbows will stay white this summer
As long as I'm a tadpole
And the green mouth sings

Sugar
Water
Sugar
Water

Hibernation in the floating green weeds
Hibernation in the floating green weeds

On a sugar river
On a sugar river
