Notes
-
- This song was derived from the Smile song "I Like To Say Da-Da" -widely regarded to be the "water" element in the "elements suite." Brian developed this song into "Cool Cool Water" during the "Wild Honey" sessions, and it was completed during the "Sunflower" sessions, apparently because Warner's were looking for another potential single from the album.

Coolin' so coolin' coolin' me
Coolin' so coolin' coolin' me
Have some cool clear water
(Drink a little drip drip drip drip drink a little)
(Water coolin' me)
Have some cool clear water
(Drink a little drip drip drip drip drink a little)
(Water coolin' me)
Have some cool clear water
Have some cool clear water
Have some cool clear water
(Drink a little drip drip drip drip drink a little)
Have some water
Coolin' so coolin' coolin' me
Coolin' so coolin' coolin' me
Have some cool clear water
(Drink a little drip drip drip drip drink a little)
(Water coolin' me)
Have some cool clear water
Have some cool clear water
(Drink a little drip drip drip drip drink a little)
Have some cool clear water
Have some cool clear water
(Drink a little drip drip drip drip drink a little)
Have some water
Water water water water water water
Now now-now-now-now

Coolin' so cool coolin' me
Coolin' so cool coolin' me
(Drip drip drip drip drink a little drip drip drip drip)
Coolin' so cool coolin' me
(Drip drip drip drip drink a little drip drip drip drip)
Coolin' so cool coolin' me
(Drip drip drip drip drink a little drip drip drip drip)
Coolin' so cool coolin' me
(Drip drip drip drip drink a little drip drip drip drip)
When the heat's got you down
Here's what you oughta
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin' so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin' so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water
When the heat's got you down
Here's what you oughta
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin' so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water
Ooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaooooooaaaaaaa
Cool cool cool cool water water
In an ocean or in a glass
Cool water is such a gas
Coolin' so coolin' coolin' me
Ooooooooooooaaaaaaaaooooaaaaaaa
From the mountains on down to the sea
Cool water keeps on coolin' me
When the nights are too hot to keep cool
I keep on dreamin' 'bout a swimmin' pool
When I'm just too hot to move
Cool cool water is such a groove
In a shady spot when I'm layin' down
Only thing movin' are the ants on the ground
When I'm thirsty and I reach for a glass
Cool water tastes like such a gas
From the mountains on down to the sea
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me
Get yourself in that cool cool water now
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me
