When the floodgates open

And the water comes pouring through

And panic descends upon the town

Get your boots on

There's work to be done

But be careful, best not to drown

The walls are overwhelmed

And the bridges are dammed

And traffic cannot get through

When the floodgates open

There will be no more dry land

And the lambs are in trouble, too

Way ahead a helicopter circles and weaves

And the rescue boats bob up and down

When the floodgates open

And the water comes pouring through

Panic descends upon the town

The walls are overwhelmed

And the bridges are dammed

And traffic cannot get through

When the floodgates open

And the water comes pouring through

Panic descends upon the town (and the lambs are in trouble, too)

When the floodgates open

There will be no more dry land

And panic descends upon the town

Get your boots on

There's work to be done

But be careful, not to drown
