Sharks patrol these waters (x2)
Don't let your fingers dangle in the water
And don't you worry about the day-glow orange life preserver
It won't save you (x2)
Swim for the shores just as fast as you're able
Swim like a motherfucker
Swim...
Fast as that scene shifts to now
The ever glorious now
The ever present now
Dredged in flower and deep-fat-fried
And cooled on paper towels and then devoured
You know I spent 15 years in a life raft
15 years in a life raft
Now I got something to say
Stay in your life boats people (x2)
It's murder out there, murder out there
Sharks patrol these waters
Sharks patrol these waters hey
Don't you worry about the day-glow orange life preserver
It won't save you (x2)
Swim for the shores just as fast as you're able swim...
