It was a time of trouble

And a time of grief

Kings lay with whores

And begat thieves

Yeah the world was wicked

And their hearts were cold

Noah said to his missus

Well, it's time to go

Lord said to Noah

'Fore ya float that arc

You better save me a space

For my hammerhead shark

Whoa yeah, the Hammerhead Shark

Now, now now Johnny liked to drink and fight

And he raised big hell every Saturday night

When the sheriff found him

Nearly broken in two

Sheriff said to Johnny

Well, I think I know who

If he had teeth like knives

And skin like bark

You musta rumbled it up

With a Hammerhead Shark

Mmm, the Hammerhead Shark

A woman went to court

Entered her plea

Said, "Keep my husband away from me...

He don't understand what a man should know

By the time I could teach him

He'd be far too old!

Judge I found a lover ain't afraid of the dark

Honey, I'm in love with a Hammerhead Shark"

Hammerhead Shark

Watch me know, watch me know

(Here he comes)

Take it easy baby, Take it easy

(Here he comes)

Watch me know, watch me know

(Here he comes)

Wow!

Over there, over there!

Women all over, cross the USA

Got spoiled to death in the hammerhead way

President went to Congress, here's what he said:

"Gentlemen, our honor has been betrayed!

We're in deep, deep water, 'less I missed my mark

Put out an APB on the Hammerhead Shark!"

Wow!

A woman went to court

Entered her plea

Said, "Keep my husband away from me...

He don't understand what a man should know

By the time I could teach him

He'd be far too old!"

Beep bop belula bitty bop shoo wow!

I found a lover ain't afraid of the dark

Honey, I'm in love with a Hammerhead Shark

Whoa, the Hammerhead Shark

Wow!

Yeah, the Hammerhead Shark

Ooo, the hammer, hammerhead

Swim away baby!

Just a Hammerhead Shark

Shake it baby

Swim a lil faster, mama

Just a Hammerhead Shark

Just a shark on the street mama
