'Purified recycled water? That's shit ... no way'
Two years on and their dams are critically low
Down to level 5 restrictions but help is on the way
We're building a pipeline from Wivenhoe to Cressbrook
Up hill and down dale, 38 kilometres in lenghth or so
When we turn on those pumps and let the water run
Toowoomba's troubles will be less and no more
There'll be arguments about who pays for this line
As a citizen and tax-payer I couldn't give a toss
for there's a city and its people just about dying of thirst
This project's more about future gain, not current loss
The design blokes have nurtured a grand design
And the construction fellers have done us proud
We commissioning jokers have got to make it all work
I'm confident its success will be proclaimed out aloud
The programs are being written, the procedures laid down
There's plans or strategies that we discuss or rehearse
The teams are honing skills for that day in December
When a pipe hitherto dry will become a watercourse
Regardless of whether its a drought measure or not
What it conveys to the people upstream is gold
We can share what we have with others less fortunate
In Oz we don't leave people out in the cold
At the end of the year when everything's ticking and clicking
(Thanks to the construction people the line's as sound as a bell)
We'll away to new pipelines in pastures old or new like this one
Fond memories of TPA, its people, the community ... farewell
