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,
The poison floating 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 let's avoid an 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.
