"Moon river, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend,
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me.
