Lyrics
Verse
In the future, the beavers are all that are left
Of every other mammal species the planet seems bereft
You might think the isolation would make their spirits fail
But take them to the river, they be slappin' their tails
Chorus
You got to keep your beavers wet (keep em wet!)
It's detrimental to forget (don't forget!)
You got to keep your beavers soaked (build a moat!)
or else your progress will be choked (like a throat!)
Verse
because the wettest beaver is the happiest beaver
consult their well-being index if you're not a believer
They chomp upon carrots and sunflower seeds
And of course they gnaw wood until they wear down their teeth
They can grow bushes, and flowers, and five kinds of trees
but if you leave em dry the colony remains on its knees
don't wait on the water, keep it flowing like you should-a
just remember the mantra of the big beaver buddha:
Chorus
You got to keep your beavers wet (keep em wet!)
This liquid promise must be kept (then you're set!)
You got to keep your beavers moist (that's right, moist!)
Or by your own petard you'll hoist (bring the noist!)
Bridge/Breakdown/Rap
Now there are two kinds of water and this must be known (known!)
To all the baby beavers this lesson is shown (listen up!)
The blue means bueno, you can drink and swim (mmm mmm!)
But when you see the brown tide comin', best you just sleep in
It may be strangely tempting just to barrel on through
But I promise you'll become quite unwell if you do (it's poo!)
You better hope you built a muther-flippin' herbalist
or else contamination is a deadly bitch (you dead!)
in conclusion brown water is entirely bad
unless you need to make explosives or some green extract
but that's technically a story for another song (sing along!)
because we're almost done and our point remains strong
Chorus
You got to keep your beavers wet (keep em wet!)
almost amphibians, you bet (make great pets!)
You got to keep em hye-dray-ted (trap that thirst!)
and thoroughly lube-rick-ay-ted (dry's the worst!)
Chorus Finale
You got to keep your beavers wet (keep em wet!)
This liquid promise must be kept (then you're set!)
You got to keep your beavers moist (I said moist!)
Or by your own petard you'll hoist (bring the noist!)
In the future, the beavers are all that are left
Of every other mammal species the planet seems bereft
You might think the isolation would make their spirits fail
But take them to the river, they be slappin' their tails
Chorus
You got to keep your beavers wet (keep em wet!)
It's detrimental to forget (don't forget!)
You got to keep your beavers soaked (build a moat!)
