Crash on the levee, mama,
Waters gonna overflow,
Swamps gonna rise,
No boats gonna row.
Now, you can train on down
To williams point,
You can bust your feet,
You can rock this joint.
But oh mama, aint you gonna miss your best friend now?
Youre gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Now, dont you try an move me,
Youre just gonna lose.
Theres a crash on the levee
And, mama, youve been refused.
Well, its sugar for sugar
And salt for salt,
If you go down in the flood,
Its gonna be your own fault.
Oh mama, aint you gonna miss your best friend now?
Youre gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Well, that high tides risin,
Mama, dont you let me down.
Pack up your suitcase,
Mama, dont you make a sound.
Now, its king for king,
Queen for queen,
Its gonna be the meanest flood
That anybodys seen.
Oh mama, aint you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, youre gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
