Colin Hay - Don't Drink The Water lyrics

May I give you some good advice May save your life one day Before you take pleasure You should think twice Or else you have to pay You can drink French champagne 'Til the night is gone But don't drink the water In this world you can have all you want But don't drink the water Lying on the sand on the Jersey shore Opened up my eyes They say life is a beach But I'm not so sure It made me realize You can sit in the sun And watch your skin burn But you can't swim in the water There's garbage on a barge And it's in your front yard And you can't swim in the water I may stumble I may fall Won't you please pick me up Or at least give me a call And if I get a thirst A thirst that could k** Pour me a gla** Of cool clear water Up in the highlands of beautiful green It's a drinker's paradise Overhead fighters make sounds so obscene I swear up at the skies After Chernobyl I drink Scotch that's old But I don't, don't drink the water You can sit by the stream Until you get cold But don't drink the water I may wander I may stray too far I may often stumble From the whiskey in the jar But I no longer hide my face Or try to run away It's time to join the human race And make the ba*tards pay May I give you some good advice May save your life one day Before you take pleasure You should think twice Or else you have to pay You can drink French champagne 'Til the night is gone but Don't drink the water In this world you can have all you want But don't drink the water But don't drink the water Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Don't drink the water Don't drink the water
