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 son s
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 com munity,
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
