Little Water BoyStevie Wonder

Songwriter: Clarence Paul

Producer: Clarence Paul

[Verse 1]
Little boy under the shade tree
Come come, run here to me
I will pay you a quarter
If you be my water boy

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Mister, it's you that's funny
Don't wanna pay no money
Go on down to the corner
Get you a dozen water boys

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
Fifteen cents and a quarter
That ain't what I asked for
But you gotta bargain
So I'll be your water boy

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 5]
Fifteen cents and a quarter
Well, that's all I'm gonna offer
That will make you have forty
Now will you be my water boy

[Verse 6]
Fifteen cent and a quarter
That ain't what I asked for
But you gotta bargain
So I'll be your water boy

[Outro]
Ha, 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
Oh

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
