I was laying in the water Down in Islamorada sipping on a tropical drink starin' at the water I was dreaming of this girl there when this shark swam right uo too my feet I said howdy Mr.Shark Please don't you eat me He said his name was Irving And he wouldn't he said he came to talk he was appalled that my job didn't get me all the women that I wanted Irving said I was too nice needed meaness and more vice need to knock them down and them try to stomp them I said that I would try it but he really didn't but it cause he said that he would eat me if I didn't chorus: Shark,Shark,Shark, Irving the shark God I want to be like him Shark,Shark,Shark, Irving the shark They come back again and again So later late that night After playing I was tired A pretty little lady looked and smiled I walked up to her She said she loved me sure So I knocked her down And threw her in the water She screamed with delight Said she loved a good fight She grabbed mr by the hair And pulled me under She stuffed coral in my mouth Started knocking me about Screaming blackbelt third degree that's my number Chorus They found me the next day By a mooring in the bay I was half dead But later I recovered I went looking for that shark Gonna k** him sell his psrts Then it dawned it was a dream That went asunder If there's a moral to this song You gotta keep it moving on Just stay the way you are And have a beer If they think you gotta change Just look at them real strange And tell them They can stick it in their ear Chorus: Shark,Shark,Shark, Irving the shark I'm never gonna be like him Shark,Shark,Shark,Irving the shark The women he attracts like Jungle Jim So I'll stay the way I am If you like me that's just fine If you don't life's a b**h But I don't mind So I'll keep on writing songs trying to make it right or wrong And someday you'll be moved Within my songs Chorus: Shark,Shark,Shark,Irving the shark I'm never gonna be like him Shark,Shark,Shark,Irving the shark The women he attracts Like Richard Simmons
