When the water in the groundTurns a strange shade of brown, Call the doctor.When water belowHas a bright orange glowAnd you want to knowJust why that’s so, Call the doctor.When the grass that you grewTurns a bright shade of blueAnd you view your shoe;It’s now a new, blue, hue, tooWhat do you do? Call the doctor.When the water you drink Burns a hole in the sinkAnd you stop and thinkWhy, water shouldn’t be pinkNow, it starts to stink --- Then quick as a wink you’re out on the brink‘Cause you just can’t think ----Of a word that rhymes with aquifer.So -----You call your shrink and have a talk wif’ herAnd what’s the shrink think? Call the doctor.
