Water Song

Animals need water, People need it too

Keep it clean for me and I’ll keep it clean for you.

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to spare

Water in the ground and water in the air

Although it may evaporate it never goes away

Rains and snows on mountain tops and flows into the bay

Animals need water, People need it too

Keep it clean for me and I’ll keep it clean for you.

Now water is rain, water is flood

Water turns dirt into the mud

Sometime water’s blue, sometime water’s green

Sometime water’s dirty and sometime water’s clean.

Animals need water, People need it too

Keep it clean for me and I’ll keep it clean for you.

Now you can wash your hands in it,

You can wash your hair.

You can wash your clothes

Or wash your teddy bear.

Really clean water is getting’ kinda rare

If we want to save it, People have to care!

Animals need water, People need it too

Keep it clean for me and I’ll keep it clean for you.

Animals need water, People need it too

Keep it clean for me and I’ll keep it clean for you.
