I do not like fracking, Zach-a-wacking

 

I am Daniel.

 

I am Zach-a-wacking.

Zach-a-wacking am I.

 

That Zach-a-wacking,

That Zach-a-wacking!

I do not like,

That Zach-a-wacking.

 

Do you like fracking?

 

I do not like fracking,

Zach-a-wacking.

 

Would you like it,

Here or there?

 

I would not like fracking,

Here or there.

I would not like it anywhere.

I do not like fracking.

I do not like it, Zach-a-wacking.

 

Would you like fracking,

Near your house?

Would you like fracking,

Near a mouse?

 

I would not like fracking,

Near my house.

I would not like fracking,

Near a mouse.

I do not like fracking,

Here or there.

I would not like it anywhere.

I do not like fracking.

I do not like it, Zach-a-wacking.

 

Would you like fracking,

Near a bubbling stream?

Would you like fracking,

Near your baseball team?

 

Not near my house.

Not near a mouse.

Not near a bubbling stream,

Not near my baseball team.

I do not like fracking,

Here or there.

I would not like it anywhere.

I do not like fracking.

I do not like it, Zach-a-wacking.

 

Would you? Could You?

Near a playground?

We drill up, down, all around.

 

No, that is not sound.

I would not, could not,

Near a playground.

 

How about in your county?

Just wait. You’ll see!

Fracking brings bounty.

For all! For me!

 

I do not like fracking,

Zach-a-wacking.

I do not want it,

Near my house.

I do not want it,

Near a mouse.

I do not want it,

Near a bubbling stream.

I do not want it,

Near my baseball team.

I do not want it,

Near my playground.

I do not want it,

in my county.

 

Zach-a-wacking,

I can’t let this be.

Water is too important,

to let you drill for a fee.
