words and music by Wayne the Humps

Well one day Me and Bobby and Timmy were fishing down by the river

We saw something that just didn’t look right

When we got closer we noticed it was a body floating in the river

So we did what anybody else would do, we called the cops

And they showed up and they saw what we saw

Dead in the river, there’s a body floating there

He is  dead in the river

Who he is, someone cares

They dragged him to shore to find out who he was

He had no wallet no ID because he had no clothes

He was a bare naked man

The cops said “Can’t do much here, hope you understand”

So they loaded him up and took him away to the morgue

And made him even colder than he was before

Well it’s not that he minded but he was high and dry

And it’s  so much better than being by quayside

Dead in the river, there’s a body floating there

He is  dead in the river

Who he is, someone cares

I heard they ran some DNA tests

The family was notified by a text

I don’t know what they did with the body next

And till this day I’m still perplexed

There was a body dead in the river

There was a body dead in the river, dead in the river

He was bloody dead

A song about finding a dead body in a river.
