Radicule Polotiks

Lovely water, desert water, cherish every drop
First the rain she fill the river, then the sun he dry it up.
Lovely water table: now you see it, now it's gone
Lovely water, drinking water, watering the rich man's lawn.

Rich man, rich man, how does your garden grow?
Silver bells and cockle shells; there's life beyond the gate you know
Well you're living in the city, but your mind's still in the sticks
Because you don't want to get involved in all those radicule polotiks.

If you're driving on the Hohokam and it be monsoon time
You can sail on up to the Borgata; the Perrier there mighty fine
You can float down to Encanto Park and drink Don Pedros beer
But this is Amurrica and we all speak Queen's English heah.

Manuel, Manuel, how does your garden grow?
Silver bells and cockle shells; there's life beyond the gate you know
Well you're living in the city, but your life's still in the sticks
Because you don't want to get involved in all those radicule polotiks.

Step outside the door you see the lovely scenery
We have the cutest little art museum and a darling symphony
Now we lie out by the swimming pool for cup of Christmas cheer;
Lovely weather, lovely party, lovely wish-that-you-were-here.

Phoenix, Phoenix, how does your garden grow?
Silver bells and cockle shells; there's life beyond the gate you know
Well you wish you were a city, but your life's still in the sticks
Because you don't want to get involved in all those radicule polotiks.
