Another way to shine

there's water in the well
and the gate is always open
there's wood out in the shed
and the chimney's always smokin'
the kettle's on the boil now and
won't you stay for tea
and help us with the garden
and we'll help you rake your leaves
money doesn't talk in this neighbourhood
a healthy bank account won't do you no good
hey neighbour i've seen tha done before
you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours
there's water in the well
and the gate is always open
there's wood out in the shed
and the chimney's always smokin'
the kettle's on the boil now and
won't you stay for tea
and help us with the garden
and we'll help you rake your leaves
and cut the children's hair
before we go to the quilting bee
rise and shine what a glorious day
we're learning about living in the natural way
we're all mother nature's children
daughters and sons
our numbers are many, but we all live as one
buy a few acres do your own excavation
lay down the forms, build up the foundation
i'll gladly lend a hand if you need me brother
cause we are only wealthy through each other
our roads are dirt and our highways are gravel
we're self sufficient folks here
ther's no need to travel
the water is clear the earth is chemical free
we're all safe in our community... nuclear free
there's water in the well
and the gate is always open
there's wood out in the shed
and the chimney's always smokin'
the kettle's on the boil now and
won't you stay for tea
and help us with the garden
and we'll help you rake your leaves
i'll loan you my guitar
if i can watch your colour TV
