Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh
“Ah lad, did ye get the water meter yet?”
Chorus
Now they put a water meter just outside our gate.
There’s no point in complaining, sure now it is too late.
To keep the water charges down, there’s one thing we can do.
Don’t ever flush the toilet ’till we all go to the loo.
“Your a good one Johnny!”
If you want ta save on water, you’ll have ta be discreet.
Don’t leave the tap a running, when ye brush your teeth.
Don’t over fill the kettle, when your making tae.
And when ye have a shower, don’t stay in there all day.
Chorus
Now they put a water meter just outside our gate.
There’s no point in complaining, sure now it is too late.,
To keep the water charges down, there’s one thing we can do.
Don’t ever flush the toilet, ’till we all go to the loo.
‘Again Johnny, again!”
Don’t leave the taps a dripping, it’s money down the drain.
If your auld pipes are leaking, more euros you’ll be paying.
Believe it or believe it not, a quare thing I’ll tell you.
One third of all the water used, is flushed down the loo.
Chorus
Now they put a water meter just outside our gate.
There’s no point in complaining, sure now it is too late.
To keep the water charges down, there’s one thing we can do.
Don’t ever flush the toilet ’till we all go to the loo.
In Ireland we have lots of rain. woeful great big showers.
If you collect rain water, you can put it on the flowers.
You can use it for ta wash the car or clean your dirty boots.
So buy yourself a barrel and catch the water from the shoots.
Now we have a water meter just outside the gate.
There’s no point in complaining, sure now it is to late.
To keep the water charges down, there’s one thing we can do.
Don’t ever flush the toilet ’till we all go to the loo.
Now we have a water meter just outside the gate.
There’s no point in complaining, sure now it is to late.
To keep the water charges down, there’s one thing we can do.
Don’t ever flush the toilet ’till we all go to the loo.
Ah don’t ever flush the toilet ’till we all go to the loo.
