Water water I desire Here's a house made of flesh on fire Open the fountains and the springs And come you all with your bucketings
Water water bring it round Throw your bucket on the ground Air is hotter, flames are higher It's a full-blown scare-fire
What you cannot quench, you must burn down, Lose one house to save the town It's better still that one should fall Than by its burning risk them all Water water
Water water bring me more Douse the rafters and the floor Throw your bucket, take your turn Or just stand back and let the damn thing burn Water water
Water water I desire Look out baby I'm a scare fire scare fire
