about

Madeline (Lilly Pilly Green) wrote this song about being water wise. The "drink while you swim" part is about the clean mountain stream, the Brodribb River in Far East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, which runs through Jamie's (Professor EcoCentric) property...

lyrics

THE WATER SONG

I stop and think i stop and think
When I'm really really thirsty and i need something to drink
I stop and think i stop and think
Before i buy that plastic bottle in the shop in the fridge i stop

And wonder where the water came from
And how many roads it travelled along
It's not quite right it feels so wrong
And that's the reason we're singing this song

9 spoons of sugar in a can of soft drink i stop

'Cause did you know
There are places when you swim in the river
Where you can drink while you swim drink while you swim
'Cause the water is crystal clear
You can just open your mouth and let it flow right in
Swimming upstream feels like a dream
And no joke i'm doing breast stoke and i am drinking
The sweet water the sweet water
And i can taste the rocks i can taste the moss
I can taste the reeds
I can taste the story of where this river's been
And now i'm back in the city
And i'm watching this water gurgling down the sink
And it makes me think

Don't you think we oughta think about the water?
