        Am                 Fmaj7 E sus7
        We were at a party
        His ear lobe fell in the deep
        Someone reached in and grabbed it
        It was a rock lobster
                                              Am susM5 C susM6 F7 add7 E sus7 (x4)

        We were at the beach
        Everybody had matching towels
        Somebody went under a dock
        And there they saw a rock
        It wasn't a rock
        It was a rock lobster
                                            Am susM5 C susM6 F7 add7 E sus7 (x4)

        Motion in the ocean
        His air hose broke
        Lots of trouble
        Lots of bubble
        He was in a jam
        He's in a giant clam
                                          A jam

                                         Am  Fmaj7 E sus7 (x4)

        Underneath the waves
        Mermaids wavin'
        Wavin' to mermen
        Wavin' sea fans
        Sea horses sailin'
        Dolphins wailin'

        Red snappers snappin'
        Clam shells clappin'
        Muscles flexin'
        Flippers flippin'

                    Rock, rock, rock lobster
                    Down, down

                                      There goes a manta-ray
                                      In walked a jelly fish
                                      There goes a dogfish
                                      Chased by a catfish
                                      In flew a sea robin
                                      Watch out for that piranha
                                      There goes a narwhale
                                      Here comes a bikini whale!
