Don’t Go Near The Water Lyrics

[Chorus: Mike Love]
Don't go near the water
Don't you think it's sad
What's happened to the water
Our water's going bad

[Verse 1: Mike Love]
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man
The poison floating out to sea
Now threatens life on land

[Chorus: Mike Love]
Don't go near the water
Ain't it sad
What's happened to the water
It's going bad

[Bridge: Group]
Don't go near the water
Don't go near the water

[Verse 2: Al Jardine]
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath
Beginning with me
Beginning with you

[Chorus: Mike Love]
Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong
To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song

[Verse 3: Mike Love]
Let's all help the water
Right away
Do what we can and ought to
Let's start today

[Outro: Group]
Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh
