Lady of the Water

Notes: The Lady of the Water in this song isn't a real lady at all, but rather a reference to the beautiful statue that adorns the center of downtown Cincinnati's most famous fountain. Recently, we've missed our lovely mistress on account of renovations surrounding her pool; however, the construction is complete and she's returned. I decided to pay tribute to her upon her glorious return. She's the closest Cincinnati will ever come to true royalty.

Sweet in the Summer, drink her in.Icy in the Winter, and the ice is thin.She floods your eyes, she's like a Spring.Watch your step, or you'll Fall right in.

She's the Lady of the Water on Fountain Square An upright gal with a downtown flair She's a tall drink of water with an ice-cold glare She's the Lady of the Water on Fountain Square

She'll point you out, then stare you down.She'll lure you in, then pour you out.She'll whet your whistle, with a woo woo Then spout dismissal with a uh uhh

Like Lady Madonna, she's a prayer.But don't you cross her, don't you dare.I confess, I'm blessed, I swear.I worship the Lady on Fountain Square.
