Bathtub
from Patada en los Cojones
Verse 1:
There he is just minding his own business
The buoyant yellow Buddha on the sea
As free as a bird he bobs along not knowing what now lurks beneath
The bubbly deep
Verse 2:
The waves they lap against his useless flappers
He quacks away the day in distant reverie
Yet little does this feathered friend now apprehend that he's a floating feast
For the beast
Pre-Chorus:
The waters start churning
The tides they are turning
The surface is storming
A maelstrom is forming
The waves they are breaching
The gulls they are screeching
And from the foam there slithers into sight……
Chorus:
Rubber Squid! – Swim for your life!
Tentacles! – Please do not dive!
Scissor beak! – Nowhere to hide!
Rubber squid!
Oh Duckie you're the catch of the day……
Verse 3:
Oh Mr Yellow
You're no longer mellow
You're white as a sheet
Coz the squid wants to
Eat you alive!
Outro:
Don't fight it Mr Duck
The cephalopod's suck
You've run out of luck
You unfortunate cluck
Oh Mr Duck
This time you're really fucked
