When I drink that glass of water I wonder where it's been...
In a fluffy cloud until precipitation?
Was it rain or was it snow and where did it go?
Falling on the thirsty land or as the river flows?
Chorus:
The water cycle really is no mystery.
It flows around from air to ground, back to the sea.
It's harder to understand our frequent abuse.
Since we all depend upon our waters reuse.
When I drink that glass of water I wonder where it's been...
In a maple tree till transpiration.
In the roots, then to the leaves as the saps rise.
Till it evaporates back into the skies.(Chorus)
When I drink that glass of water I wonder where it's been...
Dinosaur, wild boar, maybe Gentle Ben.
Was it blood, plasma, spit, oh please don't let it be...
I don't want to be drinking someone else's pee! (Chorus)
