Lyrics
Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Water started long ago,
Water started long ago,
Water started long ago,
And it's still around
Dinosaurs drank water,
So did pre-historic men,
Women and republicans,
Lyndon Johnson and Ho Chi Minh.
You'd think it'd be gone by now
I need water, so do you.
It comes with thunder and with dew,
From Brighton Beach
To Timbucktu
And in my basement now
First you see a lightning flash,
Pretty soon you hear a splash.
Water causes diaper rash.
A Yo ho ho ho ho.
Water in a sulphus spring is hot,
Water that runs from a river is not,
Too much water makes things rot;
I think I'll drink some now
