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
