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
