It’s probably best known from the theme to _ **Breakfast at Tiffany’s** _, “Moon River.” Where Henri Mancini got it, I don’t know. > [https://youtu.be/lYhVvT7fLVY](https://youtu.be/lYhVvT7fLVY) ---

Well. Maybe I do. Maybe I don’t. I assume it means like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn from Twains books. Buddies, me and you out and about, having fun and looking for adventure. I like it because it’s a line in the song “Moon River” from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” sung(?) by _Audrey Hepburn_ Just evokes a nostalgic feeling. ---
