The Who - WATER lyrics

rate me

The foreman over there hates the gang

The poor people on the porch get it so rough

The truck driver drives likea devil

The policemen - they're acting so tough

They need water

Good, good water

We need water

And I'm sure there aint one of us here

Who'd say, "No," to somebody's daughter

(No... no.... no... no... no...)

Sampson seems sorta sweaty

They draftsmen - they smudged their work

The captain of a ship is swimming

Then just wore off a keen bank clerk

{Chorus:}

We need water

Good, good water

We need water

And maybe somebody's daughter

C'mon, gimme good water

C'mon, gimme good water

C'mon, gimme good water

Please don't refuse me, mister

I've seen your daughter at the oasis

And I'm beginning to blister

A 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

{Chorus}

{Guitar Solo}

Gimme good water

Indian Lake is burnin'

New York's skyline is hazy

The River Thames is turnin' dry

The whole world is a-blazin'

{Chorus}

Ah, gimme what I need

{Guitar Solo}

Please, water, water, water, water, water, water

{Guitar Solo}

Gimme water

Water

Water

(Water...)

And I'm sure there ain't one of us here

Who'd say, "No," to somebody's daughter

(Oh, no)

Whoa...

No, no, no, no, no...

No, whoa
