See that cat on the mountaintop

She's gonna rock baby just won't stop

I say

Wade in the water

Wade down in the water

Wade in the water

Everybody wade in the water

See that gal dressed in white

She likes to wade in all night

I say

Wade in the water

Wade down in that water

Wade in the water

The hound dog's wading in the water

Wading in the water

See that cat dressed in green

She's a poor little cat that I ever could see

I say you

Wade in the water

Wade down in the water

Wade in the water

Everybody wade trouble the water

See that cat dressed in blue

You know he's a-waiting to show you through

I say wade now in the water

Way down in the water children

Wade in the water

The hound dog's wading in the water

And big mama wading in the water

Now the whole damn's wading in the water

I say wade yes yes yes in the water
