Ooh-hoo, water ski
Tough to get to where you wanna be
Oh, those skis just keep falling off, and
Ooh, barefoot, goes more like planned

You could do tricks in a free form style
You could stay on for a hundred miles
But we will try to get you to fall
Floating around, finding the skis and all

Ooh-hoo, water ski
For a while you feel like you are free
Ask a boater and you'll probably find
Ooh yeah they water skiied sometime

I didn't look and didn't see that rock
And then I hit it, I'm in total shock
You're drivin' a bit too close to the bridge
Could you move over just a little smidge?

Ooh-hoo, water ski
It's the way to fall into the sea
Going faster, oh can you hold on?
Ooh water, it won't make you yawn

Ooh-hoo, water ski
Avoid jet skiiers, boaters you'll see
A great fall and you're siftin' through sand
Ooh, but you are far from the land

Oh, and you might get watery eyes
Something might bite you, then you will be surprised
Don't use the skis and ski barefoot this time
Just remember, avoid the soot and grime

Ooh-hoo, water ski
Tough to get to where you wanna be
It's a fun thing to do any day
Ooh, not when you're lost far away

Ooh water, Ooh water
Ooh water, Ooh water
Hey, hey, hey, hey
