One Water Fountain

Baby it’s a hot day on the porch on de Gaspé
I feel your kicking but I think we’ll be okay
They don’t want to put your daddy “in his place”
They just shout his name when he gets on base

Got some plums at the market
Got some nectarines
Those sweet strawberries from Ile dee-Orleans
The stairs are outside so I leave the fruit out there
And when the kids come down I say, “Bon-jou-were”
I smile and say, “Bon-jou-were”

Well I can’t make out what the neighbours are sayin’
But I sure like the sounds of their kids playin’
On the baseball diamonds they pretend to be Robinson
And ain’t nobody here trying to have us hung

Got some plums at the market…

I love the funny ways of these frenchie Canucks
Who give me their seat at the front of the bus
White or negro, english or french
They got but one water fountain for all thirsts to quench
Yes, white or negro, english or french
Use the same water fountain for the same thirst to quench

Got some plums at the market…

Baby it’s a hot day on the porch on de Gaspé
I feel your kicking and I know we’ll be okay
