(To the music of "Goldfinger")
Silver Thumb . he's the man .
the man with the swamped canoe.
But he made it through.
All the food it got washed in
the drink
But it's not quite as bad as
you think.
For secure in its waterproof
home
it floated along in the foam
then a kayaker caught up with
the loot
and toss it securely in the
boot.
Silver Thumb . he's the man .
the man with the swamped canoe.
But he made it through.
One by one all the team hit the
drink
and much equipment and gear
it did sink
Silver Thumb then exclaimed
with a slur
I've had enough of this damn
riv-er.
It's the worst that I've seen
in life
so I'm heading back home to
my wife.
Silver Thumb . he's the man .
the man with the swamped canoe.
But he made it through.
And thus the day it ended with
a whine
and not the trip we'd all hoped
would be fine.
The lesson we all learned that
wet day
wasn't about all the fish we
would slay
But never take anything for
granted
when your canoe it gets really
slanted.
Silver Thumb . he's the man .
the man with the swamped canoe.
But he made it through.

Do you have any idea how many crayfish an adult hippo can eat."
