Get out of the water
I'm telling you don't be calling out
when my boy goes swimming
Water Lion
His hands are deadly
and his eyes are black and bright
He sleeps on a big stone
surrounded by rapids
Get out of the water
Baby beware!
Deep under the current
He moves like a master
All through the hunting hours
Striking, smiting
faster than arrowheads
Water Lion
His mane is copper
and his claws are white
as steam
He eats on a big stone
surrounded by rapids
He's playing for keeps now
Baby beware!
The river is green
and the river is white
But the water is blue
And it moves in his eyes
And it moves in the dark
Through the chambers of hearts
With the beauty of water
rushing over the stars
