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.
The foreman over there hates the gang
The poor people on the farms get it so rough
Truck drivers drive like the devil
The policemen they're acting so tough
They need water
Good water
They need water
And I'm sure there isn't one of us here
Who'd say no to somebody's daughter
No, no, no, no, no
The foreman over there hates the gang
The poor people on the farms get it so rough
Truck drivers drive like the devil
The policemen they're acting so tough
They need water
Good water
They need water
And maybe somebody's daughter
Indian Lake is burning
The New York skyline is hazy
The River Thames is turning dry
The whole world is blazing
We need water
Wow yeah good water
Ooh we need water
And maybe somebody's daughter
Ah gimme, gimme good water
Ah gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Ah gimme good water
Please don't refuse me, mister
I seen your daughter at the oasis
And I'm beginning to blister
My Chevrolet just made steam
Your crop is laying foul
My grass skirt's lost its green
I'm alive but I don't know how
I need water, good good water
They need water
Gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Wow, gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Come on gimme, gimme, gimme
