==Song Lyrics==
Dewey Drop: One, two, three.
Men: (singing) If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you oughtta (Hey!)
You oughtta, (Hey!) you oughtta, (Hey!) you oughtta (Hey!)
Dewey Drop: That's right.
Men: If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you oughtta
Dewey Drop: Here we go.
(singing) You know you can't live without me
Our relationship's gone real swell
And I've always been right there for you
But I'm not a bottomless well
No, no, no, no, no
We both wanna go on forever
But I'm having my doubt
It seems strange, but without a change
Our love might end in a drought
Men: If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you oughtta (Dewey Drop: Hey, hey)
If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you ought, you oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
Dewey Drop: Second verse.
(singing) Give a faucet an assist with a twist
You can stop that drip
Water: Every day you save a whole 20 gallons
Dewey Drop: Take a minute shorter shower
Use a water-saving head, get hip
Water: Every month save 1500 gallons
Dewey Drop: Washing clothes or dishes, fill up the machine
Water: 800
Dewey Drop: Keep the hose closed while you scrub your car clean
Water: 600
Dewey Drop: If you're not conserving water
You ought to, you ought, you ought to
You ought to, you ought, you ought to
If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
(speaking) Bridge over troubled water.
All: You might forget that I'm more than a drink
People use water for more than you think
Farmers, factories, cities and towns
Draining, draining reservoirs down
Underground aquifers serve many homes
Too many wells suck them dry as a bone
We can't let our water just go down the drain
You can keep helping without too much pain
Drip, drip, drip
Dewey Drop: If your lawn isn't wilting
It don't need water at all
Water: Every month save thousands of gallons
Dewey Drop: Clean your driveway with a broom, not a hose
That's a real smart call
Water: Every month you can save 600 gallons
Dewey Drop: It's okay to use me but please don't abuse me
Show me you're ready and we'll keep going steady
Keep me treating right and our future looks bright
If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
If you're not conserving water
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
You oughtta, you oughtta, you ought oughtta
