Don't go near the water
Don't you think it's sad
What's happened to the water

Our water's going bad
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man

Poison flowing out to sea
Now threatens life on land


Don't go near the water
Ain't it sad
What's happened to the water

It's going bad

Don't go near the water

Don't go near the water

Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath

So that's a modern ecological aftermath
Beginning with me
Beginning with you


Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong

To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song
Let's all help the water

Right away
Do what we can and ought to
Let's start today
