Water by The Who

The foreman over there hates the gang
Poor people on the porch get it so rough
Truck driver drives like a devil
The policemen, they're acting so tough

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And I'm sure there ain't one of us here
Who'd say, "No" to somebody's daughter
(Oh no)

The foreman over there hates the gang
Poor people on the porch get it so rough
Truck driver drives like a devil
The policemen, acting so tough

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And maybe somebody's daughter

Sampson seems sorta sweaty
The draftsmen, they smudged their work
The captain of a ship is swimming
Then just wore off a keen bank clerk

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And maybe somebody's daughter

C'mon, gimme good water
C'mon, gimme good water
C'mon, gimme good water
Please don't refuse me, mister
I've seen your daughter at the oasis
And I'm beginnin' to blister

A Chevrolet just made steam
Your crop is laying foul
My grass skirt's lost it's green
I'm alive, but I don't know how

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And maybe somebody's daughter
C'mon, gimme, gimme, oh, I need

You know, you know what I need

Indian lake is burnin'
New York's skyline is hazy
The River Thames is turnin' dry
The whole world is a blazin'

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And maybe somebody's daughter
What I'm saying is just please gimme, gimme what I need

Please
Please give
Please gimme water
Please gimme water

Gimme water, well please
Gimme water
C'mon gimme, gimme water
Gimme, gimme water please

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon gimme the water
I'm sayin', well that's all I need
Oh baby, baby, baby c'mon gimme water
You know what I like, gimme water

Water, water
Gimme water
And I'm sure there ain't one of us here
Who'd say, "No" to somebody's daughter
(Oh no)
Whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa
