Water In The Well

there's water in the well

and the gate is always open

there's wood out in the shed

and the chimney's always smokin'

the kettle's on the boil now and

won't you stay for tea

and help us with the garden

and we'll help you rake your leaves

money doesn't talk in this neighbourhood

a healthy bank account won't do you no good

hey neighbour i've seen tha done before

you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours

there's water in the well

and the gate is always open

there's wood out in the shed

and the chimney's always smokin'

the kettle's on the boil now and

won't you stay for tea

and help us with the garden

and we'll help you rake your leaves

and cut the children's hair

before we go to the quilting bee

rise and shine what a glorious day

we're learning about living in the natural way

we're all mother nature's children

daughters and sons

our numbers are many, but we all live as one

buy a few acres do your own excavation

lay down the forms, build up the foundation

i'll gladly lend a hand if you need me brother

cause we are only wealthy through each other

our roads are dirt and our highways are gravel

we're self sufficient folks here

ther's no need to travel

the water is clear the earth is chemical free

we're all safe in our community... nuclear free

there's water in the well

and the gate is always open

there's wood out in the shed

and the chimney's always smokin'

the kettle's on the boil now and

won't you stay for tea

and help us with the garden

and we'll help you rake your leaves

i'll loan you my guitar

if i can watch your colour TV
