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')
Phil Ochs (1940-1976) was an American singer-songwriter known for his politically and socially charged protest songs. Born Philip David Ochs in El Paso, Texas, he began his musical career in the 1950s, influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Ochs distinguished himself for his civic engagement and his ability to transform political events into incisive and musically engaging lyrics. His songs addressed themes such as the Vietnam War, social inequality, and civil rights, earning him the moniker "topical singer", a term he preferred over "protest singer". Among his most famous songs are "Draft Dodger Rag", "I Ain't Marching Anymore" and "Here's to the State of Mississippi". Ochs released numerous albums, including "Phil Ochs Sings", "Gun of Love" and "Pleasures of the Harbor", which helped solidify his position as one of the most influential protest singers of the 1960s. His music has inspired generations of artists and continues to be listened to today for its message of social justice and its evocative power.
