How high’s the Watergate, mama, two feet high and risin’ / How high’s the Watergate, papa, she said it’s two feet high and risin’ / There’s a bug on the window pane / Gerry Ford must be insane / Looks like a job for Mickey Spillane / Two feet high and rising

How high’s the Watergate, mama, three feet high and risin’ / How high’s the Watergate, papa, she said it’s 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’s the Watergate, mama, four feet high and risin’ / How high’s the Watergate, papa, she said it’s four feet high and risin’ / Nixon doesn’t talk he lies in the face that screems out for a pie / The only one workin’s is David Frye / Four feet high and risin’

How high’s the Watergate, mama, five feet high and risin’ / How high’s the Watergate, papa, she said it’s five feet high and risin’ / If there ever was a crook, he’s it / Perversion is the soul of wit / Pass the shovel, he’s full of shit / Five feet high and risin’, well it’s five feet high and risin’
