They're taking her children away because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away because she was making it with sisters and brothers And everyone else all of the others like cheap officers who would stand there and flirt in front of me They're taking her children away because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away because of the things that they heard she had done The black Air Force sergeant was not the first one and all of the drugs she took every one, every one And I am the Water Boy the real game's not over here But my heart is overflowin' anyway I'm just a tired man no words to say But since she lost her daughter It's her eyes that fill with water And I am much happier this way They're taking her children away because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away because number one was the girl friend from Paris The things that they did ah, they didn't have to ask us and then the Welshman from India who came here to stay They're taking her children away because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away because of the things she did in the streets In the alleys and bars no she couldn't be beat that miserable rotten slut couldn't turn, anyone away I am the Water Boy the real game's not over here But my heart is overflowin' anyway I'm just a tired man no words to say But since she lost her daughter It's her eyes that fill with water And I am much happier this way
