The Day The Water Stopped

by Susan Cantey © 2003

 

Went to the kitchen to get a drink;

filthy glasses piled high in our sink.

Turned the faucet on; got nuthin’ but air;

how could it be; no water was there?

 

Oh No!  (pa pum) What could we do? (pa pum)

Oh No!  (pa pum) It couldn’t be true.

We all went into shock                          

The day the water stopped. (all music stops / papapa pum)

 

Mamma knew what was coming so she’d filled up the tub;

I was fifth in line for a very cold scrub

Saw a clothes pin on mama’s nose;

the smell from the toilet was really gross.

 

CHORUS

 

Don’t ya take it for granted

when ya turn yer water on.

Ya’d better be grateful

if yer water ru…..uns.

 

CHORUS  

 

We all went into shock,

the day the water stopped.

Aeeyaeeayeeah!
