They'd better get out of my way
I’m telling you, it’s not my day

I'm normally timid and shy
Until somebody makes me cry,
Then my hackles rise
If they're telling me lies
And then the expletives will fly

They'd better get out of my way

I’m normally timid and shy
Until somebody makes me cry,
Then my hackles rise
If they're telling me lies

In my kitchen I roar and rage
Like a lion confined in a cage

I’m normally timid and shy
Until somebody makes me cry,
Then my hackles rise

I’m normally timid and shy
Until somebody makes me cry,

I can’t feel my toes anymore
They were there when I looked before
My skin has gone blue
It’s a kiddie pool, too!
I’m thinking of old sailors’ lore.

Will I get to France still alive?
I'm about to take my first dive
It's cold in the sea
Will I be a shark’s tea?
They always get hungry by five

I can't feel my toes anymore

Will I get to France still alive?
I'm about to take my first dive
It's cold in the sea
Will I be a shark’s tea?

Will I get to France still alive?

I'll start by dunking one toe
Then onward and outward I'll go
Right up to my neck
So right, what the heck
I'm swimming the channel, you know.

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near,
It has been a bar
But I want to go far
And swimming is fun, so I hear

I'll start by dunking one toe

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near,
It has been a bar
But I want to go far

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I’d never go near
It has been a bar

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near

I never did learn how to swim
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep
The descent was so steep
I got in the pool on a whim

I was really kept back by fear

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep
The descent was so steep

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep
