Lyrics
Well I'm a Swordfish for you Baby,
Pokin' and strokin' all night long.
Well I'm a Swordfish for you Baby,
Pokin' and strokin' all night long.
Come with me to the bottom of the bay,
You know I won't do you no wrong.
Then I'll be a jellyfish for you, Darlin'
Losin' my oozin' just for you!
Then I'll be a jellyfish for you, Darlin'
Losin' my oozin' just for you!
Come with me to the bottom of the bay,
'See what we can do.
Then I'll be a giant squid, for you sugar,
Squeezin' and pleasin' all day long.
I'll be a giant squid, for you sugar,
Squeezin' and pleasin' all day long.
Gonna wrap you up in my love, little Darlin'
You know I won't do you no wrong!
I'm an electric eel for you Baby,
All charged up to make you smile.
'm an electric eel for you Baby,
All charged up to make you smile.
Just plug me in, little Darlin',
and I'll light you up in style!
Down at the bottom of the bay...
(Pass the tartar sauce, please).
