i m gathering rainbows and picking up dreams got a heart full of heaven and a pocket full of schemes hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo i m busy as the river flowing down to the sea got a sweet sweet baby who s a fool about me whenever there s trouble she s a standin at my side and when the goin gets so rough i just flow with the tide hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo i m pickin up sunshine and handin up smile it s a long road to travel but i love every mile hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo i m busy as the river
