Lyrics for Shark Attack

Loves got teeth and she bites so hard Leaving you for dead like a deadly shark And she doesn't leave a lot to be saved I was swimming in the harbour of your smile Splashing in the ocean like a child I didn't know what dangers lurked there Just beyond the waves - Shark attack! Well she chewed me up and she spat me out I didn't want to meet a maneater Shark attack! Please don't mess around with me I'm a shark fatality, in the sea I'm the one with the bleeding heart I thought you were a real lifesaver And life for once would do me a favour But babys just a butcher, and her teeth are razor sharp Shark attack! Well she chewed me up and she spat me out I didn't want to meet a maneater Shark attack! And I'm lost at sea and I'm an amputee And there was slaughter in the water when I fought her Shark attack! Hey!... Hey!... Hey!... Hey! Shark attack! Well she chewed me up and she spat me out I didn't want to meet a maneater Shark attack! Well I'm lost at sea and I'm an amputee And there was slaughter in the water when I fought her Shark attack! Shark Attack! (repeatedly) (Neil:) Thank you
