Water in the Well
There's water in the well
And the gate is always open
There's wood out in the shed
And the chimney's always smokin'
The kettle's on the boil now and won't you stay for tea?
And help us with the garden and we'll help you rake your leaves
Well, money doesn't talk in this neighbourhood
A healthy bank account won't do you no good
But hey neighbour, I've seen that done before
You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
There's water in the well
And the gate is always open
There's wood out in the shed
And the chimney's always smokin'
The kettle's on the boil now and won't you stay for tea?
And cut the children's hair before we go to the quilting bee
Well, rise and shine what a glorious day
We're learning about living in the natural way
We're all mother nature's children, daughters and sons
Our numbers are many, but we all live as one
Oh, play it for me mac
Well, buy a few acres, do your own excavation
Lay down them forms and build up the foundation
I'll gladly lend a hand if you need me brother
'Cause we are only wealthy through each other
Our roads are dirt and our highways are gravel
We're self-sufficient folks here there's no need to travel
The water is clear the earth is chemical-free
And we're all safe in our community, nuclear-free
There's water in the well
And the gate is always open
There's wood out in the shed
And the chimney's always smokin'
The kettle's on the boil, won't you stay for herbal tea?
Alone you might get tired but I can watch your colour TV
