lyrics

I left the calamity for Amity
The beat for the beach
My name is Brody
And they call me the chief

What's your name? Crissy!
Where you going? Swimming!

You say barracuda people go "huh, what?"
You say "shark!" and we got a panic on our hand on the Fourth of July

Alex Kintner, your fingers are beginng to prune

That's some bad hat Harry

Pippet? Pippet?

Ya'll know me, you know how I earn a livin
I'll catch this bird for ya, but it ain't gonna be easy
I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks chiefy
I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him and kill him for ten

You all know where I can find chief Brody?
I'm Brody, I'm Brody!
Let me see the remains of the first victim
The girl on the beach
No smoking in here or this is what happens
Well this was no boating accident, no coral reef
And it was no Jack The Ripper

It was a shark!
You go in the cage
Cage goes in the water
Shark's in the water
Our shark
Pretty big shark
Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders for the sail back to Boston
And so nevermore shall we see you again

I'll never put on a life jacket again
Come on down here and chum some of this shit

I can steer straight ahead
He steers the boat chief

Hooper, Hooper!
Stop playing yourself mister Hooper

See this?
Thrasher cut through my wet suit

Let's drink to our legs, I'll drink to your leg

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it went right to my head

He can't go down with three barrels in her
Not with three barrels!
Tie me up another barrel

Aren't you watchin it?

He's chasing the boat
He's following us into shore

We're gonna need a bigger boat

We're gonna lead him into shore
And we're gonna drown him

Back home we got a taxidermy man
He's gonna have a heart attach when he sees what I brought him

Smile you son of a bitch!
