Lyrics:

she don't look like her mother
nothin' like her father
how else can you explain
it must be something in the water

pig tails, overalls
freckles on her face
skinny as a toothpick
turned sideways
something haperned to her
when she turned sixteen
from a little dixie chicken
to a mississippi queen

solo

spendin days a fishin
with a bamboo cane
every night skinny dippin
in the Ponchatrain
if we were livin, breathin'
had two feet
you'd be doggin that girl
cause she looked so sweet

you could always find her when the night time fell
crankin' up a bucket from that old stone well
drinkin' from her hand
dancin' 'neath the moon

she don't look like her mother
nothin' like her father
how else can you explain
it must be something in the water
[Something In The Water Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]
i never will forget
that look in her eyes
the night she snuck me down
to the riverside
she wrapped herself around me
like a honeysuckle thong
her lips they had a taste
of wiild cherry wine

you could always find her when the night time fell
crankin' up a bucket from that old stone well
drinkin' from her hand
singin' at the moon

she don't look like her mother
nothin' like her father
folks round here say its something in the water

solo

two straight months
without any rain
we never ever saw that girl again
but i still got her picture
burning in my head
dancin' in a downpour
soaking wet

you could always find her when the night time fell
crankin' up a bucket from that old stone well
drinkin' from her hand
howlin' at the moon

she don't look like her mother
nothin' like her father
how else can you explain
it must be something in the water
don't look like her mother
nothin' like her father
folks round here say its something in the water



something in the water now
hey hey
way down in the water.
something in the water
something in the water
way down in the water
theres something in the water
must be something in the water
