Killer Barracuda

Look into water, see the barracuda
Patient as the devil
hanging still
Like a shadow in the water
Pretty barracuda,
dagger of the devil
waiting to kill
Little girl beware, of killer barracuda
He rules these waters like a king
He'll cut your heart out slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's hungry 'cause he's mean
You can see the shark now
glidin' through the water
Ugly as death.
Eats anything
But the pretty barracuda, don't touch no leavins
Takin' what he wants to
'cause he's king
And you can't scare him or entice him
He won't move for the devil, 'til his own time
Then quicker than heartbeat
he'll turn you away girl just to
see you fall, and leave you dyin'
Little girl beware of the killer barracuda
He rules these waters like a king
He'll cut your heart out slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's hungry
'cause he's mean
