How High`s the Watergate — текст песни (Phil Ochs)

How high is the watergate, Mama, she said it`s one foot high and risin`
How high is the watergate, Pama, he said it`s two feet high and risin`
There`s a flood around the poker game (There`s a bug on the window pane)
Gerry Ford must be insane
Oh, my God, it`s Mickey Spillane,
The tides are risin` (Two feet high and rising)

How high is the watergate, Mama, three feet high and risin`
How high is the watergate, Pama, three feet high and risin`
In the Swiss bank the money`s stashed
18 minutes of tapes were slashed
They`ve even taken in Johnny Cash
Three feet high and rising

How high is the watergate, Mama, four feet high and risin`
How high is the watergate, Pama, four feet high and risin`
Nixon`s gone and taught you lies (Nixon doesn`t talk, he lies)
A face that screams out for replies (...for a pie)
And the only one workin`s is David Frye,
Oh the tides are risin` (four feet high and risin`)

How high is the watergate, Mama, five feet high and risin`
How high is the watergate, Pama, five feet high and risin`
If there ever was a crook, he`s it
Perversion is the soul of wit
Pack your shovel, he`s full of shit,
The tides are risin` (five feet high and risin`)
