Rock Lobster Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sca-do-ba-da, eww
Sca-do-ba-da, eww
(Sca-do-ba-da) We were at a party (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) His ear lobe fell in the deep (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) Someone reached in and grabbed it (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) It was a rock lobster (Eww)

[Chorus]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Rock lobster
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Rock lobster

[Verse 2]
Eww
Eww
We were at the beach (Eww)
Everybody had matching towels (Eww)
Somebody went under a dock (Eww)
And there they saw a rock (Eww)
It wasn't a rock (Eww)
It was a rock lobster (Eww)

[Chorus]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Rock lobster
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Rock lobster

[Verse 3]
Rock lobster, rock lobster
Motion in the ocean (Hoorah)
His air hose broke (Hoorah)
Lots of trouble (Hoorah)
Lots of bubble (Hoorah)
He was in a jam (Hoorah)
He's in a giant clam! (Hoorah)

[Bridge]
Rock, rock, rock lobster!
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Down, down…
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 4]
Sca-do-ba-da, eww
Sca-do-ba-da, eww
(Sca-do-ba-da) Underneath the waves (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) Mermaids waving (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) Waving to mermen (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) Waving sea fans (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) Seahorses sailing (Eww)
(Sca-do-ba-da) Dolphins wailing (Eww)

[Chorus]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Rock lobster
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Rock lobster

[Verse 5]
Rock lobster, rock lobster
Hoorah, hoorah
Red snappers snapping (Hoorah)
Clamshells clapping (Hoorah)
Mussels flexing (Hoorah)
Flippers flipping (Hoorah)
Rock, rock

[Bridge]
Rock, rock, rock lobster!
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Down, down…
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Lobster! Rock!
Lobster! Rock!
Let's rock!

[Breakdown]
Boys in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rocking
Everybody's fruging
Twisting around the fire, having fun
Baking potatoes, baking in the sun
Put on your nose guard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter
Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jellyfish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale! (AHHHHH)

[Outro]
Rock lobster (Lobster, rock lobster)
Rock lobster (Lobster, ah-ah-ah-ah)
Rock lobster (Lobster, rock lobster)
Rock lobster (Lobster, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
