H2O PDF Print E-mail
Water, water everywhere

To wash in and to drink

Filling up the swimming pool, the bath and kitchen sink

It makes the grass and flowers grow

In winter time it's ice and snow

In France it's known as just plain `eau'

Go with the flow

It's H2O


It has no colour, taste or smell

Found in rivers, lakes and wells

Splash, splash

Splosh, splosh

Drip, drip

Drop, drop

Rain, rain, rain will it ever stop?

Precipitation all over our nation

Go with the flow

It's H2O


Two-thirds of the Earth is covered in it

It's home to billions of fishes

Dangerous enough to drown all of us

Yet without it how would we do the dishes?

Great to shower in

Great to bathe in

Put down that water pistol, stop misbehaving

Go green instead, start water saving

Go with the flow

It's H2O


People die when it runs out

In Africa in times of drought

In the sweltering, scorching, sizzling sun

But if it's plentiful

Like in a waterfall

It's gurgling, gushing, glorious fun

What liquid's top of the plops at number one?

Be saturated not dehydrated

Go with the flow

It's H2O


It's in the waves of the oceans

In the tide of the seas

In the wet of our sweat

And in the `achoooooooooo' of your sneeze

It's in coffee, milkshakes, juice and teas

Turning to steam at one hundred degrees

Though at zero you can watch it freeze

I'm so thirsty, pour me a glass of water please

Go with the flow

It's H2O
