(instrumental intro)

I thought floods were only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Floods are out to get me
Slap my tail and swam
Inundation's haunting all my dams

Help me it's a race
Oh I'm just a beaver
There's no way
That dam will survive
It's a flood (Oh!)
I'm just a beaver,
Gotta rebuild here! It's my drive!

I thought floods were more or less a rainy thing
Seems the more it rains the less I want
What's the use in tryin'
To rebuild this dam
When I saw that flood come I just swam

Help me it's a race
Oh I'm just a beaver
There's no way
My lodge will survive
It's a flood (Oh!)
I'm just a beaver,
Should I rebuild here? It's my drive...

(instrumental bridge)

Aww, floods are out to get me
That's the way it seems
An appointment with doom in this stream

Help me it's a race
Oh I'm just a beaver
There's no way
My dam won't be gone
It's a flood (Oh!)
Though I'm a beaver,
Screw drives and instincts - I'll move on!
