Aquanaut

Max Sharp was an aquanaut
With the gills and fin
Especially bred for the ocean bed
Waterproof head and skin

Going down to the submarine town
20 fathoms deep
Whoever thought a man a-breathin' water
I wonder if there’s trouble with the bubbles when he sleeps

Mermaids in underwater glades
Playing with electric eels
Deep sea shock of Davy Jones' Locker
Rockin' from his head to his heels

One was quite a dish but she was half a fish
If only, he wished, she had legs
I guess he saw her, hookеd on Neptune’s daughter
Now thеy're expecting their first eggs

Na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na naaa na
Na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na

Max Sharp was an aquanaut
With the fins and gills
He swims where he pleases in the Seven Seas
Jesus, what a thrill

But the Navy boys with the sonar noise
Sailing in the tubs of tin
Got him with torpedoes in the back of his Speedos
Holy Toledo, that was the end of him

Na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na naaa na
Na na na-na na na na
