LyricMeaning

Irving The Shark
E.C. Davis

I was laying in the water

Down in Islamorada

sipping on a tropical drink

starin' at the water

I was dreaming of this girl there

when this shark swam

right uo too my feet

I said howdy Mr.Shark

Please don't you eat me

He said his name was Irving

And he wouldn't

he said he came to talk

he was appalled that my job

didn't get me all the women

that I wanted

Irving said I was too nice

needed meaness and more vice

need to knock them down

and them try to stomp them

I said that I would try it

but he really didn't but it

cause he said that he would

eat me if I didn't

chorus:

Shark,Shark,Shark, Irving the shark

God I want to be like him

Shark,Shark,Shark, Irving the shark

They come back again and again

So later late that night

After playing I was tired

A pretty little lady

looked and smiled

I walked up to her

She said she loved me sure

So I knocked her down

And threw her in the water

She screamed with delight

Said she loved a good fight

She grabbed mr by the hair

And pulled me under

She stuffed coral in my mouth

Started knocking me about

Screaming blackbelt third degree

that's my number

Chorus

They found me the next day

By a mooring in the bay

I was half dead

But later I recovered

I went looking for that shark

Gonna kill him sell his psrts

Then it dawned it was a dream

That went asunder

If there's a moral to this song

You gotta keep it moving on

Just stay the way you are

And have a beer

If they think you gotta change

Just look at them real strange

And tell them

They can stick it in their ear

Chorus:

Shark,Shark,Shark, Irving the shark

I'm never gonna be like him

Shark,Shark,Shark,Irving the shark

The women he attracts like Jungle Jim

So I'll stay the way I am

If you like me that's just fine

If you don't life's a bitch

But I don't mind

So I'll keep on writing songs

trying to make it right or wrong

And someday you'll be moved

Within my songs

Chorus:

Shark,Shark,Shark,Irving the shark

I'm never gonna be like him

Shark,Shark,Shark,Irving the shark

The women he attracts
