(begins with a scat, sounds like...) Hey bow-wow-hey-ba-biddy-hey What's down What's down below the street What's under the pavement that's under your feet What's down, down, down below Down below the street
Looking deep down, the first thing you see Are the wires that bring electricity The lights light up, the telephones ring Because of the power all these wires bring
All those wires, all those pipes Different sizes, different types Bring you water, bring you heat What's down below the street
What's deeper down, here take a good look These pipes bring the gas that makes your oven cook And what about the water that flows in your sink Those other pipes bring you the water you drink
That's what's down below the street Under the sidewalk that's under your feet What's deeper down, deeper down, down below the street
In the winter you don't want chilly feet So you need these big pipes to bring you heat And for the water that goes down the drain every day There are great big pipes that take the water away
All those wires, all those pipes Different sizes, different types Bring you water, bring you heat Let's go down, down, down, down
If you're in a city where the subway goes There's even deeper to go down and now you know What's down, down, down below, down below the street
What's down below the street What's under the pavement that's under your feet That's what's down, down beloooooow, Down below the street
