Lyrics

Five girls playing on toy guitars in front of a lake.

Five kids standing in front of a lake pretending to play a toy guitar.

Verse 1

Let’s go down to the water
And play at the beach
Or we can go to the river
C’mon get out of the heat
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I love the water….. WATER!

Verse 2

We like to drink from a fountain
Or pour it in a cup Our favorite thing is watermelon
Nah we don’t drink soda pop
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I love the water….WATER!

Guitar Solo; Bridge (chant):

Water, water everywhere, water, water in your hair
Wash your hands, brush your teeth, feel the rhythm, stomp your feet

Verse 3

Let’s go surfin’ everybody
And boogie on the waves
Hold your breath go underwater
Kick your feet and swim away
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I love the water (2x) .… WATER!
