Cool
ED. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ngithand'ukudlala
Usuku lonke
Ngithand'ukudlala
Imini yonke (Oh nami, nami, nami)

Ngithand'ukudlala
Usuku lonke
Ngithand'ukudlala
Imini yonke (Oh nami, nami, nami)

In the yard or at the park
I can ride and play
It's so good to be outside
I can play all day

Hide and seek
Or climbing trees
Hanging with my friends

We'll just laugh
And shoot the breeze
It's the day that never ends

We can play until it's dark
Until our mothers call

It's just so cool to be a kid
To be wild and free
Free to be me

It feels so good to be a kid
It's just such fun
To be so young oh
It feels so good to be a kid

Ngithand'ukudlala
Usuku lonke
Ngithand'ukudlala
Imini yonke (Oh nami, nami, nami)

Ngithand'ukudlala
Usuku lonke
Ngithand'ukudlala
Imini yonke (Oh nami, nami, nami)

Slide on the slide
Swing on the swing
Jump on the trampoline
This is life at it's best
It's just like a dream

On my bike I pedal fast
Catch me if you can
Up the hill, watch me go
Till I come down again

Kids across the world unite
Peace and love for all

It's just so cool to be a kid (Oh so cool yeah)
To be wild and free
Free to be me

It feels so good to be a kid (Feels so good yeah)
It's just such fun
To be so young oh
It feels so good to be a kid

If you're two or ten or four
Being a kid you must adore
Make the most of everyday
That is what the grownups say

It's just so cool to be a kid
To be wild and free
Free to be me

It feels so good to be a kid
It's just such fun
To be so young oh

It's just so cool to be a kid (Oh so cool yeah)
To be wild and free
Free to be me

It feels so good to be a kid (Feels so good yeah)
It's just such fun
To be so young oh

It's just so cool to be a kid (Oh so cool yeah)
To be wild and free
Free to be me

It feels so good to be a kid (Feels so good yeah)
It's just such fun




To be so young oh
It feels so good to be a kid

Overall Meaning

The song "Cool Water" by ED. is actually a cover of a Western classic originally written by Bob Nolan in 1936. The song tells the story of parched cowboys stuck in a barren, dry area without water. They're struggling to survive and dreaming of finding cool and clear water to drink. The song explores themes of survival, hope, faith, and struggle.


The first verse describes how the singer and his horse, Old Dan, have been wandering in a deserted area all day, feeling thirsty and deprived of water. In the second verse, the singer encourages Dan to keep going even though they're tired and thirsty. He urges Dan not to listen to the devil, who's spreading burning sand, but to focus on finding a big green tree where water runs free. The imagery of the green tree with cool water waiting for them represents hope and salvation.


The third verse talks about how at night, the atmosphere turns cool and peaceful. The singer acknowledges that he's a fool to believe that every star in the dark sky is a pool of water, but it feels good to dream of cool water in such a dire situation. With the dawn, he wakes up and carries on his search for cool and clear water. The last verse talks about praying for water, and how the shadows sway and meditate on the hope of finding water. The singer imagines that way up there, their prayers will be heard, and they will find water.


ED.'s rendition of "Cool Water" is a soulful, stripped-down acoustic version of the original. It captures the sense of struggle and longing in the lyrics of the song, delivering it with poise and grace.

Sun's up, I hit the floor
Shoes tied, I'm out the door
Is this a clean shirt?
I think it was one yesterday

Free day, I'm on the phone
No plans, I got the cell on
I call my boys up
Spend a little time outside today

Never liked being in when I gotta be
Never liked being told who I gotta see
I like no commitment growing up around me

I'm not coming in anymore
Everything I want and need is just outside this door
I'm not coming in anymore
I've got too many friends on the outside
That don't include you

Go ahead and think what you might
All my friends got angles and insights
And all kinds of facts and probabilities

You say we lack rhyme or reason
I say we're meant for all seasons
We scream with endless possibilities

Spend a lot of time trying to convince me
My friends are two strikes against me
Well I swing for the fences
So that must make strike three
That's fine by me

I'm not coming in anymore
Everything I want and need is just outside this door
I'm not coming in anymore
I've got too many friends on the outside
That don't include you
Don't include you


Nothing ever seems right
Like it does when I start
Playing in the right speed, cooking in the right part
I like things familiar
And I don't belong here
Don't belong here

I'm not coming in anymore
Everything I want and need is just outside this door
I'm not coming in anymore
I've got too many friends on the outside
The plan's on the outside
That don't include you

Not coming in
Not coming in
Not getting back no more
No more

I'm so glad I grew up in the 2000s to see Cartoon Network during its Golden Age.

@emmanuelharris6445

Me too. I really miss being a Kid again & wish I could go back to my old Life just to relive back in the 2000s to watch “Ed Edd N Eddy” all over again even all the other old Cartoon Shows on Cartoon Network just to be back happy again nowadays. Sadly, I know it can never happen since I know Life doesn’t work that way unless I knew how to make a Time Machine for me to go back into my Past which I don’t know how to unfortunately. Life is really sad nowadays but all we can do is just be happy & glad we grew up watching old great Legendary Cartoon Network Shows like “Ed Edd N Eddy” like you said along with old Nickelodeon Shows, old Disney Channel Shows, & all great Legendary Cartoon Shows period. #CartoonNetworkIsLife #EdEddNEddyIsLife #NeverForgetAboutHistory
