(Water ooh ooh) Next time you turn on the tap... you must think. Chorus: Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth Don’t waste water Keep your showers to 4 minutes each Don’t waste water Fix the tap when it has a leak Don’t waste water Only use your sprinklers twice a week And none in winter Only turn on the wash when you have a full load Don’t waste water Hand water your plants with the hose Don’t waste water Try to wash your car on the lawn Don’t waste water Coz when it’s down the drain it’s gone... it’s gone.
