Now listen there, folks, my name is Tom Sawyer,
I don't wanna be no doctor or no lawyer.
Fishin' by the river, that's the only place to be,
I wanna be free sitting under a tree, that's me.

These are the stories of Tom Sawyer,
Leaning on fences, playing by the river.
Chasing that steamboat, teacher, let me breathe,
I wanna be free sitting under a tree, that's me, haha.
