RiverFest, It's The Best! (LYRICS)
RiverFest, it's the best! RiverFest, it's the best!
Bring your friends and your folks along,
Down to the river and sing this song
RiverFest, it's the best!
RiverFest, it's the best!
Chipmunks and fish and frogs that croak
Every thing needs water, not just folk
RiverFest, come casually dressed!
A fun celebration in the upper Midwest!
RiverFest, it's the best!
It’s all connected though it’s hard to be seen,
How sweeping your leaves can keep the watershed clean.
How too much fertilizer kills the fish downstream.
How every one of us is a part of the team!
So test your soil, rain gardens are cool,
Adopt a storm drain, tell your friends at school,
We’ll clean up the river and celebrate
We ALL make a difference, WHY WAIT????
RiverFest, it’s the best!
Cool, clean water’s our mission quest
RiverFest, it's the best!
A place to learn and a place to play
A FUN celebration on a beautiful day
RiverFest, it's the best!
Come down to the river, be our guest
RiverFest, it's the best.
