Lyrics

Don't Go Near The Water
© Jeffrey c. Ashbaker 1-17-22
Memories can fool you
Though the story still gets told
Passed down through the ages
Never does get old
Somethings I remember
While some are better to forget
This just may be one of those
But I ain't forgot it yet
---------------Chorus---------------
Don't go near the water, Dave
It echoes in my mind
Don't go near the water, Dave
This ain't no nursery rhyme
Ole Dave kept moving closer
Till he was, he was flopping with the fish
Dave went near the water, some beach
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We had our share of wonder
We had our share of doubt
Everyone was screaming
Pull the damn kid out
Well, they finally saved him
And today he's still good and dry
But just when you think it's all forgotten
You'll hear this battle cry
---Repeat Chorus---

-Bridge-
I can't remember if he knew how to swim
But he sure could flop
Truth or fiction, believe it or not
--------------------------------
---Repeat Chorus--
--Out--
