Rock Lobster

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
Rock Lobster!!!
Rock Lobster!!!
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Rock Lobster!!!
((High Pitched)) Rock Lobster!!!
Potion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
Said the giant clam!!!
Rock, Rock
Rock Lobster!!!
Down, down...
Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'
Rock Lobster!!!
((High Pitched)) Rock Lobster!!!
Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'
Rock, Rock
Rock Lobster
Down, down...
Lobster... Rock
Lobster... Rock
Let's rock!!!
Boy's and bikinis
Girls and surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's frugin'
Twistin' round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun
Put on your noseguard
Hit on the Lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter
Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dog-fish
Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHAlE
ROCK LOBSTER
ROCK LOBSTER
ROCK LOBSTER
ROCK LOBSTER
