[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
It's the water
It's the water
That can wash your whole life away

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
It's the water
It's the water
I would swim so very far away

[Bridge]
From wet we ooze, and back to wеt we cruise
Our perfеct home is the sea
If we're not wet, then we don't get to choose
So strip and skinny-dip with me
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
