The Lyrics

How high's the water, mama?
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Three feet high and risin'

Well, the levee's gone,
I'm in water past my knees
People are swimmin' Just to cling to a tree
And FEMA keeps yellin' hang on don't flee,
Three feet high and risin'

How high's the water, mama?
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Four feet high and risin'

Hey, come look from the roof top plane,
The Coast Guard's comin', gonna pull us up with a crane
Looks like we'll suffer with a little more rain,
Four feet high and risin'

How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Five feet high and risin'

Now FEMA's coming gonna put us on a plane
Just so Bush's ratings won't go down
We can't come back have to turn around don't drown!
Five feet high and risin'

How high's the water, mama?
Six feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Six feet high and risin'

Hey the Red Cross is here gonna feed us all the same
Handing out water, ice and MREs,
I don't think I can eat a whole lot of these,
Six feet high and risin'

How high's the water, mama?
Seven feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Seven feet high and risin'

The Army's here we shouldn't have to fear
They'll arrest all the looters stealing our beer
We can all rest now, but we still won't cheer
Seven feet high and risin'

Well, it's seven feet high and risin'
