lyrics

I Want To Go To the Croton Dam, lyrics and music by David Rinaldi

STOP! why don’t we turn around
and take the rest of the day off
‘cause i’m feeling thirsty for some
adventure in my own backyard

the weather’s fine and i’m
taking my time
i got to be who i need to be
i heard a story about a
a waterfall
maybe i can drink it all
come and see

i wanna go to the croton dam
where the water’s fine
and there ain’t no sand
i wanna go to the croton dam with you

there must be a million gallons of water racing down below
and there must be two trillion limestone blocks
stacked up like legos
the colorado river
has the hoover dam
and even brooklyn has a famous bridge
since 1907 there was water for manhattan
everybody’s drinking from a giant straw
there’s always more

i wanna go to the croton dam
where the water’s fine
and there ain’t no sand
i wanna go to the croton dam with you
(repeat)

and on a sunny day you can watch the eagles play
there goes a rainbow on the waterfall
as i walk along the top
looking down my heart stops
just like niagara falls
and the pyramids too
