The flood

Scream, scream, scream!
Shout, shout, shout!
The flood has come to get us!


We're all trapped in our houses.
Accept the ones who are out.
The flood has come to get us!


The flood has come up to our hips.
No wonder we're all in grief.
The flood has come to get us!


The sun comes out, the flood goes down.
Now we're just sighing of relief.
The flood hasn't come to get us!
