Little boy under the shade tree
Come come, run here to me
I will pay you a quarter
If you be my water boy
Mister, you know it ain't no fun
Working out in the hot sun
Pay me a half a dollar
Then I'll be your water boy
Lil' boy sure sounds funny
You don't wanna make no money
Well, I can go down to the corner
And get me a dozen water boys
Mister, if you think it's funny
Don't wanna pay no money
Go on down to the corner
Get you a dozen water boys
(Water boy)
Can't you hear them calling?
(Water boy)
Yeah I do but you keep stalling
(Water boy)
Say little boy you better hurry
Getting water to the men is your worry
Fifteen cents and a quarter
That's all I'm gonna offer
That will make you have forty
Now will you be my water boy?
Fifteen cents and a quarter
That ain't what I asked for
But, you gotta bargain
So I'll be your water boy
(Water boy)
Can't you hear them calling?
(Water boy)
Uh-huh, but you keep stalling
(Water boy)
Hey little boy you better hurry
Getting water to the men is your worry
Fifteen cents and a quarter
That's all I'm gonna offer
That will make you have forty
Now will you be my water boy?
Fifteen cents and a quarter
That ain't what I asked for
But, you gotta bargain
So I'll be your water boy
He will be our water boy
I will be your water boy
He will be our water boy
I will be your water boy
Little boy you better hurry
Little boy under the shade tree
Come come, run here to me
I will pay you a quarter
If you be my water boy
Mister, you know it ain't no fun
Working out in the hot sun
Pay me a half a dollar
Then I'll be your water boy
Lil' boy sure sounds funny
You don't wanna make no money
Well, I can go down to the corner
And get me a dozen water boys
Mister, if you think it's funny
Don't wanna pay no money
Go on down to the corner
Get you a dozen water boys
(Water boy)
Can't you hear them calling?
(Water boy)
Yeah I do but you keep stalling
(Water boy)
Say little boy you better hurry
Getting water to the men is your worry
Fifteen cents and a quarter
That's all I'm gonna offer
That will make you have forty
Now will you be my water boy?
Fifteen cents and a quarter
That ain't what I asked for
But, you gotta bargain
So I'll be your water boy
(Water boy)

So I'll be your water boy
He will be our water boy
I will be your water boy
He will be our water boy
I will be your water boy
Little boy you better hurry
