Lyrics
EVERY LITTLE DRINK
(WATER CYCLE SONG)
(Chorus)
Every little drink, every little drink,
Every little drink we take
Comes from the water cycle and the rain it makes
Every living thing, every living thing
Every living thing depends
On the water cycle going round and round again
1. Evaporation makes a gas
And liquid into vapors pass
Up in the atmosphere the vapors float
Condensing into clouds the winds can blow (Chorus)
2. When temperature and pressure are just right
Precipitation falls down from the sky
Rain falls on the land and into streams
And into rivers that flow out to sea (Chorus)
3. Rain that falls from the sky
Filters through the soil where plant roots lie
Water from every leaf is released
Through transpiration and the cycle is complete (Chorus)
