lyrics

Well did I tell you about the time when I was really down
Down around the waterfront hanging around
Looking for a ticket on the last boat ride
When I hear a voice whispering by my side

There’s an old buddy-buddy from way back when
Standing on the pier, kinda glistening
He goes drop that rock, put down that frown
Didn’t anybody tell you there’s a party going down?
We’ll go... and we can set your spirit free
Bring along some wine, and have a big old time
And I’ll meet you at the bottom of the sea

Well I didn’t know what to think about what he had to say
I said how you gonna get me down that watery way
With my fins all skinned and my gills all gummed
And I don’t even know what planet I’m from

He goes man, don’t you worry ‘bout it, here and gone
Here’s a fine pair of flippers, son, strap ‘em right on
then bend down low, like a silvery trout
And let the party hearty people show you
what it’s all about
And we’ll go.... I won’t mind you and you won’t mind me
We’ll bring along some friends, the party never ends
And I’ll meet you at the bottom of the sea

Well the next thing I know I’m headed down, down, down
Finning and a-grinning and a-flashing around
Down into the darkness, ‘till it lit up like the night
And oh man, you never seen such a fabulous sight

There’s all the fishes and the dishes
Swimming ‘round and ‘round
Everybody grooving and a-funking on down
Baitfish looking sweet, and the eelfish looking smooth
And the bluefish laying down a funky groove
And we’ll go... man you won’t be seeing much of me
Unless you come on down, and I’ll buy you a round
And I’ll meet you at the bottom of the sea
meet you at the bottom of the sea...
