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 |
|
money doesn't talk in this neighbourhood |
|
a healthy bank account won't do you no good |
|
hey neighbour i've seen tha 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 help us with the garden |
|
and we'll help you rake your leaves |
|
and cut the children's hair |
|
before we go to the quilting bee |
|
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 sons |
|
our numbers are many, but we all live as one |
|
buy a few acres do your own excavation |
|
lay down the forms, 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 |
|
ther's no need to travel |
|
the water is clear the earth is chemical free |
|
we're all safe in our community... nuclear free |
|
there's water in the well |
