Sugar River - Nits

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

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
