Get a pumper
Drop the water from above
Send it here and there
This heat is hard to bear
Get a pumper
Send it here and there
This heat is hard to bear
I'm so easy, the air so hot
Beads of sweat running down my back
All my friends are made of wax
Moving slowly, they gon' melt
Our knees are burning the heat's so hot
Wind's so heavy the bees can't fly
What can stop it now?
What can stop it now?
Hé téh téh téh téh téh téh
What can stop it now?
Hé téh téh téh téh téh téh
What?
So let's get a pumper
Drop the water from above
Send it here and there
This heat is hard to bear
Get a pumper
Drop the water from above
Send it here and there
This heat is hard to bear
If we don't move, then the sea's gon' dry
All the walls of the town's gon' crack
Some of us are stuck on chairs
Well then tell them they gon' die
All these trees begging for some water
What can stop it now?
Find this truck baby I'm gonna drive
What can stop it now?
Hé téh téh téh téh téh téh
What can stop it now?
Hé téh téh téh téh téh téh
What can stop it now?
So let's get a pumper
Drop the water from above
Send it here and there
This heat is hard to bear
Get a pumper
Drop the water from above
Send it here and there
This heat is hard to bear
So let's get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it
C'est trop sec, sec, sec, sec, sec, sec, sec
So let's get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it
C'est trop sec, sec, sec, sec, sec, sec, sec
Let's get a pumper
'Cause we need a pumper
Gotta find it, catch it, ride it
Like some kinda jumper
Get down to your underwear
'Cause this heat is hard to bear
Oh the rain is gonna come
This rain is gonna come, so
Let's get a pumper
Wanna see it from above
You can get it, fill it, drive it
Like a fireman would do it
Drop the water here and there
On my t-shirt, on my hair
Sing a prayer, hit the drum
The rain is gonna come and
This heat is hard to bear (j'ai trop chaud)
This heat is hard to bear (j'ai trop chaud)
Let's get a pumper
Just get a pumper
This heat is hard to bear (j'ai trop chaud)
This heat is hard to bear (j'ai trop chaud)
Just get a pumper
Let's get a pumper
This heat is hard to bear
So let's get a pumper
Drop the water from above
Send it here and there
This heat is hard to bear
