LYRICS

Swim With Sam

Sam here says he lost his call
on the day Cousteau had died
the ocean was a tub of sharks
with Jacques-Yves as a guide

Sam here says the waters safe
that man should not have left the seas
called the Human Bathyscaphe
hes King of Expertise

so if someone wants to know
and asks you where I am
you say you saw me go
for a swim with Sam

Sam here says they call him nice
and that it makes him really sick
that his nice is like polite
and silence does the trick

Sam here says hed like to go
somewhere far away from here
to a sea that no one knows
to completely disappear

so if someone wants to know
and asks you where I am
you say you saw me go
for a swim with Sam

dont try to talk me out of this
not while Im here in Carlas seat
the sea has many drops of water
but the salt wont let you taste the sweet

go, go!
