Water Plug (feat. Daru Jones & Justin Roberts)

Summertime. Hey. Another hot sunny day in the nineties. On the block with the bros where you find Me. I get the free lunch, then I'd eat Everybody's leftovers because my appetite was pretty Mighty. We ride bikes up and down our little Street. Zane would bring his boombox, serenade us With some beats. Wishing we could hit the pool, Usually a place for peace, but ours was overrun By gangs and the police. So we stay in eyesight, still jovial and vibrant, Begging for the elders to turn on the fire Hydrant. Well, we called it the water plug, Someone'd have to pry it. Take a wrench to it and whoosh, instant excitement. Water everywhere unless the fire trucks came. They'd shut it off and lecture us and ruin Our day. We'd sit around sad, fun came to An end, but in just a couple minutes it Was open again. The water plug. Splish, splash, having a great time. La la la la, la la la. Splish, splash, having so much fun now. La la la la la La. Splish, splash, having a great time. La la la la la, la la la. Splish, splash, having so much fun now. La la la la la. Yo. Once it was on, there were rules with Which you had to abide. Never in the face, no splashing in the eyes. And if you had your fly clothes on you Were safe, but the older kids didn't care, They would give chase. Fill a bucket or a cup, splash a kid And hear 'em scream. We'd make boats with sticks And race them down the stream. If cars ride by you had to promise to Hold it. We let up by mistake like, "Sorry, couldn't control it." No flip flops, no gym shoes, just bare feet, No socks. Just hoping we don't step in the Glass, debris, or rocks. Eventually the fire department would just watch. Saw us having harmless fun, couldn't bring it to A stop. Neighbors bringing out the inflatable pool To fill it. All the sounds and the smell Of barbecues, I miss it. Now when I see a hydrant I still reminisce On summertime bliss, and it goes like this. Splish, splash, having a great time. La la la la la. Splish, splash, having so much fun now. La la la la la, la la la. Splish, splash, having a great time. La la la la, la la Splish, splash, Having so much fun now. La la la la la, la la.
