Wow, gimme gimme gimme good water
Gimme gimme gimme good water
Come on gimme gimme gimme...

| Great song off the Isle of Man concert DVD. I like how they talk on stage in between songs. Keith Moon remains one of my favorite drummers just because he just lets loose. | |

| Oh man, I love this song. Yeah, Keith Moon will be one of the greatest drummers in whole world. I love how he's crazy while playing. I like how Pete slapped Keith in the face before they played this. Pete explained what this song was about, Let me go check the dvd again | |
