[00:00.31] Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
[00:04.24] that washes the weary mud away!
[00:06.67] A loon is he that will not sing:
[00:11.10] O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
[00:14.77] O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain,
[00:17.08] and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
[00:19.83] but better than rain or rippling streams
[00:24.53] is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
[00:38.52] O! Water cold we may pour at need
[00:40.73] down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
[00:43.32] but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
[00:48.89] and Water Hot poured down the back.
[01:02.58] O! Water is fair that leaps on high
[01:05.04] in a fountain white beneath the sky;
[01:07.44] but never did fountain sound so sweet
[01:16.85] as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
