Why the desert
So lovely to see
Why the desert
So lovely to see
There is a reason
Lovely to tell
'Cause the desert is hiding a well
What makes the desert so lovely at night?
What makes the desert so lovely at night?
Millions of reasons
Just tell me just one
At night the desert hides the Sun
Why am I happy, are we dying of thirst?
Why am I happy, are we dying of thirst?
Why are you happy?
Why do you think?
Because there is a lot of water to drink!
Glorious liquid
Better than beer
Why is it better?
The beer is not here!
Water I love you
Water, me too!
H20, here it is for you
Why was the desert so lovely before?
Why was it lovely but not anymore
The water was hidden
No one could see
But now the water is hiding me
