For a swim, I'd barter, for a swim
I'd trade my own mother in
If you'd point me to a shore,
Boy, it would take nothing more
To get me frolicking and splashing within
It's the water
It's the water
I would swim so very far away
For the sea, I'd wager, for the sea
If there was a thing missed by me
It's the much-honored chance
Just to constantly dance
With the waves as they roil ceaselessly
It's the water
It's the water
That can wash your whole life away
From wet we ooze and back to wet we cruise
Our perfect home is the sea
If we're not wet then we don't get to choose
So strip and skinny-dip with me
For a drink, please someone bring me a wee drink
Just one swallow before I sink
Into the cradling limbs of the demon that swims
'neath the oceanic tumble of think
It's the water
It's the water
We could drink our whole life away
It's the water
It's the water
Getting deeper every day
It's the water
It's the water
Let us wallow, baby, oh!
Let us play!

For a swim, I'd barter, for a swim
I'd trade my own mother in
If you'd point me to a shore,
Boy, it would take nothing more
To get me frolicking and splashing within
It's the water
It's the water
I would swim so very far away
For the sea, I'd wager, for the sea
If there was a thing missed by me
It's the much-honored chance
Just to constantly dance
With the waves as they roil ceaselessly
It's the water
It's the water
That can wash your whole life away
From wet we ooze and back to wet we cruise
Our perfect home is the sea
If we're not wet then we don't get to choose
So strip and skinny-dip with me
For a drink, please someone bring me a wee drink
Just one swallow before I sink
Into the cradling limbs of the demon that swims
'neath the oceanic tumble of think
It's the water
It's the water
We could drink our whole life away
It's the water
It's the water
Getting deeper every day
It's the water
It's the water
Let us wallow, baby, oh!
Let us play!
I'd trade my own mother in
If you'd point me to a shore,

To get me frolicking and splashing within

For the sea, I'd wager, for the sea
If there was a thing missed by me

With the waves as they roil ceaselessly

That can wash your whole life away
From wet we ooze and back to wet we cruise
Our perfect home is the sea
If we're not wet then we don't get to choose
So strip and skinny-dip with me
For a drink, please someone bring me a wee drink
Just one swallow before I sink
Into the cradling limbs of the demon that swims
'neath the oceanic tumble of think
It's the water
It's the water
We could drink our whole life away
It's the water
It's the water
Getting deeper every day
It's the water
It's the water
Let us wallow, baby, oh!
Let us play!
