Chorus:Turn off the tap when you brush your teethDon’t waste waterKeep your showers to 4 minutes eachDon’t waste waterFix the tap when it has a leakDon’t waste waterOnly use your sprinklers twice a weekAnd none in winterOnly turn on the wash when you have a full loadDon’t waste waterHand water your plants with the hoseDon’t waste waterTry to wash your car on the lawnDon’t waste waterCoz when it’s down the drain it’s gone... it’s gone.
