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
