Over the river, across the bridge,
To Tampah's house we go;
Our Dad knows the way to steer the car
through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river, across the bridge,
To Tampah's house away!
We hold our breath as we cross the bridge,
For this is Christmas Day.
Over the river, across the bridge—
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the bridge we go.
Over the river, across the bridge,
With a clear blue winter sky,
Rocco will bark, and children hark,
As we go jingling by.
Over the river, across the bridge,
To have a fun-filled day.
Hear the bells ring, "Ting-a-ling-ding",
Hurrah for Christmas Day!
Over the river, across the bridge,
No matter for winds that blow,
For if we drive the car too fast
Into a bank of snow.
Over the river, across the bridge,
To see GG and Tad.
We will kiss them all, and play snow-ball,
And throw one at our Dad.
Over the river, across the bridge,
Drive safe, we all will say!
We’re across the bridge and almost there,
For this is Christmas Day.
Over the river, across the bridge—
Make sure that we’re not late,
We seem to go extremely slow,
It is so hard to wait!
Over the river, across the bridge,
Old Otie hears our bells.
He shakes his head, with a loud meow,
And thus the news he tells.
Over the river, across the bridge,
When Amah sees us come,
She will say, "Oh, dear, the children are here,
Bringing gifts for everyone."
Over the river, across the bridge—
Now Amah's face I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! Is the ham all done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
Corny I know, but I love it! And in a few minutes my daughter and her family will be on the road to my house , surely singing my song. Have a Merry Christmas everyone! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
Loved it!!! JS
