I′ll keep on working (working)

Until the sun goes down

I'll keep on smiling (smiling)I′ll be your circus clown

I'll keep on smiling and working and smiling, or you

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

I'll keep on dreaming (dreaming)

Until the dreaming′s gone

I′ll keep believing (believing)

'Til something better comes

I′ll keep on dreaming and smiling and dreaming of you

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) just you

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

I've seen those city boys

They dream in black and white

And all they ever wanna do is fight, fight, fight

I′ve seen those city boys

They dress and talk the same

I wouldn't trust them with the pouring rain

Someday you may find me by the Mississippi River

Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water

Someday you may find me by the banks of the river

Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water

I′ll keep on dancing (dancing)

Until my feet they bleed

I'm shadowboxing (boxing)

Until your heart concedes

I'll keep on dancing and boxing and dancing for you

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) just you

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

I′ve seen those city boys

They dream in black and white

And all they ever wanna do is fight, fight, fight

I′ve seen those city boys

They dress and talk the same

I wouldn't trust them with the pouring rain

Someday you may find me by the Mississippi River

Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water

Someday you may find me by the banks of the river

Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water

Slide to the left

I′m gonna pick my moment when it feels the best

I'm gonna slide over to the right

I′m gonna find my space in the morning light

I'm gonna slide to the left

I′m gonna pick my moment when it feels the best

I'm gonna slide over to the right

I'm gonna find my space in the morning light

Someday you may find me by the Mississippi River

Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water (Mississippi, Mississippi River)

Someday you may find me by the banks of the river (I′m gonna, I′m gonna)

Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water (river, river)

Whoo-hoo, yeah
