For the sea, I´d wager, for the sea
If there was a thing missed by me
It´s the much-honored chance just to constantly dance
With the waves as they roil ceaselessly

It´s the water
It´s the water
That can wash your whole life away

For a swim, I´d barter, for a swim
I´d trade my own mother in
If you´d point me to a shore, boy, it would take nothing more
To get me frolicking and splashing within

It´s the water
It´s the water
I would swim so very far away

From wet we ooze, and back to wet we cruise
Our perfect home is the sea
If we´re not wet, then we don´t get to choose

So strip and skinny-dip with me

For a drink, please, someone, bring me a wee drink
Just one swallow before I sink
Into the cradling limbs of the demon that swims
´Neath the oceanic tumble of think

It´s the water
It´s the water
We could drink our whole life away
It´s the water
It´s the water
Getting deeper every day
It´s the water
It´s the water
Let us wallow, baby, oh, let us play
