Something in the Water By Pokey LaFarge
[Intro] Dm A Dm A Dm A ---
[Verse 1]
Dm A Dm A
She got a broke down El Camino, / in the front yard up on blocks
Dm Bb A
Her mom walks around in a pink nightgown, sandals and white socks
Dm A Dm A
She don’t mind a baseball game / in the middle of the lightning and the rain
A Bb
She’s a pain in my brain, drives me insane
A C#dim Dm A C#dim Dm
But I love her just the same-- boys-- love her just the same
[Chorus]
F A
Something in the water (something in the water) Something in the water (something in the water)
Eb A F A
Ooh -- ooh -- ooh -- ooh
F A Dm Bb
What makes her crazy I don’t know Never seen anything like her before
F C F A
There must be something in the water
[Verse 2]
Dm A Dm A
She does her makeup and hair / to cook fried chicken in her underwear
Dm Bb A
She drinks malt liquor for lunch and dinner and sends me running scared
Dm A Dm A
She yells, she screams and she beats me / But I don’t mind the way she treats me
Dm Bb
She’ll someday lead to my death I know,
A C#dim Dm A C#dim Dm
but I’ll stay with her just the same-- boys--stay with her just the same
[Chorus]
F A
Something in the water (something in the water) Something in the water (something in the water)
Eb A F A
Ooh -- ooh -- ooh -- ooh
F A Dm Bb
What makes her crazy I don’t know Never seen anything like her before
F C F A
There must be something in the water
Then: INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
followed by vamp: Dm A Dm A Dm A ---
[Verse 3]
Dm A Dm A
My hoosier girl is so fine / shake the watermelon off the vine
Dm Bb A
She’ll blow you a fist, throw you a kiss and you’ll thank her every time
Dm A Dm A
Mmm, they’re all so crazy and beautiful / But I tell you the woman is never dull
Dm Bb
They’ll break your back, give you a heart attack
A C#dim Dm A C#dim Dm
But you need them just the same--boys--need them just the same
[Chorus]
F A
Something in the water (something in the water) Something in the water (something in the water)
Eb A F A
Ooh -- ooh -- ooh -- ooh
F A Dm Bb
What makes her crazy I don’t know Never seen anything like her before
F C F A
There must be something in the water
F F
Something in the water (something in the water), Something in the water (something in the water)…
