lyrics
Sharks are friendly
Sharks are fun
To a shark, you're his closest chum
They're man-eating machines
They'll even eat your jeans
Sharks are no joke
We're gonna need a bigger boat
Blood in the water
And CHOMP! You're dead
So be careful when you shave your head
Looking across the ocean blue
It's only a shark bite away from you
Sharks are no joke
We're gonna need a bigger boat
Great whites... hammerheads... makos as well
So many sharks tracking you by smell
But sharks are friendly
And sharks are cool
Sharks get a bad rap because some people act like fools
Float like a shark
Sting like a ray
When you see a shark, you'd best got out of the way
I'll swim with the fishes and walk in the parks
But you won't catch me dead playing cards with sharks
Sharks are no joke
We're gonna need a bigger boat
