I No more (G)bath rooms (Cm)like the old en days.

I You come here and (Cm)pay a (Cm)fee

and for the (G7)priv i lege (Cm)to pee.

(CN.C.)Twen ty years we’ve had the (Cm)drought,

(Cm)and our (G7)res er (Cm)voirs have all dried up.

I take my (G)baths now (Cm)in a cof fee cup.

I boil what’s left of (Cm)it for (Cm)tea,

and it’s a (G7)priv i lege (Cm)to pee.

(CN.C.)Twen ty years we’ve had the (Cm)pee!

The (Cm)pol (G)i (Cm)ti cians (Cm)in their (Fm7)wis dom saw that there should (G7)be a law.
