Lyrics for Fish Head

Yes, he was a fish head His frontal lobe a retread He rode a little motor scooter They said he was a neuter Tried to be a masher He was a failure as a flasher What made it most regrettable He thought he was incredible Here I come, yeah, look at me now I'm a smooth operator, I'm a mood elevator They always said I would be nothing but a fish head And look at me now Yes, he was a fish... sandwich Unfortunate case of brain damage His modus operandi A burger and a french frie His mother was a plumber His father was a momur He walked around a lot and took long naps Here I come, yeah, look at me now I'm a smooth operator, I'm a mood elevator They always said I would be nothing but a fish head And look at me now Here I come, hey, look at me now I'm a stimulator, I'm a tax evader They always said I would be nothing but a fish head And look at me now Yes he was a fish head, as stable as a waterbed For fear of pantaphobia he moved to Ethiopia Here I come, yeah, look at me now I'm a smooth operator, I'm a mood elevator They always said I would be nothing but a fish head And look at me now Woah here I come, hey, look at me now I'm a stimulator, I'm a space invader They always said I would be nothing but a fish head And look at me now Look at me now
