Like powdered sugar in the night
Moon River's a mirror
Shining silver
Pure and bright
Old Pierre's out fishin'
Claims he's catchin' frozen trout
I ain't seen no fish
But he's hollerin' all about
Oh
Winter on Moon River
It’s a wonderland for fools
With fiddles playin' magic
And the snow breaks all the rules
We dance and we laugh
‘neath the stars that shine and shiver
A frosty kind of heaven
The gators wearin' mittens
I swear I saw it with my eyes
A possum in a snowman hat
Winkin’ at me from the ice
Harmonica wails sweetly
Like a winter bird in song
Accordion's laughin'
Keeps the party rollin’ strong
And the wind whispers secrets
Through the cypress trees
"Stay and play
Oh
Winter on Moon River
It’s a wonderland for fools
With fiddles playin' magic
And the snow breaks all the rules
We dance and we laugh
‘neath the stars that shine and shiver
A frosty kind of heaven
Icicles drippin’
Like chandeliers on the bayou
The swamp’s got a sparkle
Oh
It’s a Christmas rendezvous
Pierre’s jug’s got whiskey
Says it keeps his toes from cold
I just think it’s courage for his fishin’ tales he’s told
