The Boader Song
DON'T DRINK THE WATER AT THE BORDER
Well you can drink whiskey, or you can drink beer.
Drink what you like, just as long as you're here.
You can drink coffee, or you can drink tea,
But if you're drinking water, don't share it with me!

CHORUS
Please don't drink the water at the Border,
'Cause we're here to have a good time.
You can drink spirits or beer or wine
But please - Don't Drink The Water!

You can light up a joint, or toke on a bong,
Get high as a kite, start singing this song.
Toke on it harder, to make it last shorter,
But what-ever you do - Don't Drink The Water!

CHORUS

Out here at the Border, they recycle their water,
But they forgot to put in the filter.
Out here at the border, an old farmer's daughter
drank the water - It very nearly killed 'er!

CHORUS

You may be a priest, you may be a monk,
Come on and join us, and get a little drunk
You may be a Nun - (Mother Superior's daughter)
Get out of the habit before you pass water!

And please don't drink the water at the Border,
I'll ask you just one more time
You can drink spirits or beer or wine,
But please Don't Drink Water at The Border
