Dean Martin & The Mills Brothers - Up a lazy river.

Dean Martin sings together with The Mills Brothers(his idols since he was a child) "Up A Lazy River" on The Dean Martin Show(December 28, 1967).

Dean Martin(born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American actor, singer and comedian. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed "The King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance.

Martin gained his career breakthrough together with fellow comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio, television and in films. Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor.

Martin established himself as a notable singer, recording numerous contemporary songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. He became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together formed the Rat Pack.

Starting in 1964, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centred on Martin's singing talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanour. From 1974 to 1984 he was roastmaster on the popular Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which drew notable celebrities, comedians and politicians.

Throughout his career, Martin performed in concert stages, nightclubs, audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television productions. His relaxed, warbling, crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles, including his signature songs "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?" and "Volare".

The Mills Brothers, sometimes billed the Four Mills Brothers, and originally known as the Four Kings of Harmony, were an American jazz and pop vocal quartet who made more than 2,000 recordings that sold more than 50 million copies and garnered at least three dozen gold records.

The Mills Brothers were the first African-American artists to have their own show on national network radio, on CBS in 1930, and the first to have a #1 hit on the Billboard singles chart, with Paper Doll in 1943. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998.

Up a lazy river by the old mill run

The lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun

Linger in the shade of a kind old tree

Throw away your troubles

Dream a dream with me-ee

Up a lazy river where the robin's so-ong

Awakes the bright new morning

Where we can move along

Blue skies up above, everyone's in love

Up a lazy river, how happy you could be

Up a lazy river-er with me

Up a lazy river by the old mill run

The lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun

Linger in the shade of a kind old tree

Throw away your troubles

Dream a dream with me

Up a lazy river where the robin's song

Awakes the bright new mornin'

Where we can move along

Blue skies up above, everyone's in love

Up a lazy river, how happy you could be

Up a lazy river-er with me

Woh, up a lazy river by the o-old mill run

The lazy, lazy river in the noo-oon day sun

Linger in the shade of a kind old tree

Throw away your-our troubles

Dream a dream with me

Up a lazy river where the robi-in's song

Awakes the bright new morning

Where we can move along

Blue skies up above, everyone's in love

Up a lazy river, how happy you could be

Up a lazy river-er with me-ee-ee-ee

Up - a lazy ri-iver - with me...
