The original lyrics were written by Shel Silverstein and the chorus actually changes a little after each verse. However, when teaching young children the song, it is easier to stay with one version of the chorus.

The reason I wrote my own lyrics is because I cannot sing the original without getting teary-eyed. Thank God my family and I survived the terrible floods of Hurricane Floyd. However, my prayers go out to all of the people and animals who suffered or died from the waters. I also thank Budget Rental Car and Toyota for making a water tight Tercel.
