Don't go near the water children see the fish all dead upon the shore Don't go near the water cause the water isn't water anymore
From the fountains in the mountains comes the water running cool and clear and blue And it comes down from the hills and it goes down to the towns and passes through When it gets down to the cities then the water turns into a dirty grey Cause it's poisoned and poluted by the people as it goes along its way
Don't go near the water children...
I was sittin' on the bank of the lake at home fishin' with my little boy I said have you got a bite yet son He said no sir have you daddy I said I believe I got a nibble He said daddy if we catch a fish can we cook 'em and eat 'em I said maybe we'd better not son They say it may not be safe to eat a fish from this water anymore
Don't go near the water children... Don't go near the water children... Don't go near the water children...
