Lyrics
Hugh Manatee
I glide through the water, I graze on the grasses
I'm like a cow of the sea
If it's all the same, please use my better name
and call me Hugh Manatee
From my tail to my head, I'm as long as your bed
A great grey football with a smile
Though I weigh a half a ton, I never hurt anyone
But I'm in danger once in a while
Have you heard about ol' Hugh Manatee
Please look out for ol' Hugh Manatee
only you can save, our friend below the wave
Slow down your boat with me
My waterbound neighbors, even sharks and gators
Bring me no cause for alarm
My only real worry is a boat in a hurry
Only man is doing me harm
I share my wet home, with boaters who roam
the waves too quickly you see
I try to avert, and avoid getting hurt
but they often run over me
Have you heard about ol' Hugh Manatee
Please look out for ol' Hugh Manatee
only you can save, our friend below the wave
Slow down your boat with me
