Well, meet me by the river That goes nowhere

Let me lay my sorry trip on you Yeah, won't you meet me by the river, little

darling I might just let you see my bad tattoo

Well, I was gonna bring you flowers But I didn't

But it's the thought that counts And I think I'm a bit too broke

But there's some change in my ashtray Maybe just enough to pay

For a half pint of something, probably make us choke

Well, no, I'd rather not go and meet the family

They'd probably send me back where I belong Don't wanna hear about you, Mr. Wright

Cause he's out of town tonight Baby, come and spend some time with Mr.

Wrong I'd drive a one -eyed Malibu without a muffler

And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough

Baby, if you'd like to read I've got some great pornography

And a ten -pound flashlight rolling in the trunk

Well, no, I'd rather not go and meet the family

They'd probably send me back where I belong Don't wanna hear about you, Mr. Wright

Cause he's out of town tonight Baby, come and spend some time with Mr.

And now do you have a girlfriend And does she look as good as you

Hey, would she like to meet my brother He'll be out of jail in a month or two

I'd drive a one -eyed Malibu without a muffler And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough

They'd probably send me back where I belong Don't wanna hear about you, Mr. Wright

Cause he's out of town tonight Baby, come and spend some time with Mr.

Yeah, where I come from they call me Mr. Wright
