Reggae Shark Lyrics

Gonna tell you da story

Of a Reggae Shark

There are hundreds of Sharks livin’ under da sea

Great Whites, Hammerheads and White Tip Reefs

But the one shark Discovery always leave out

Is the dreadlock Rasta fish I’m talkin’ about

Reggae Shark!

Reggae Shark is real

Reggae Shark!

Him got a band with the seals

Reggae Shark!

He don’t want to harm ya

Reggae Shark!

He just want your ganja

After dark Reggae Shark come cruisin’

Some say Reggae Shark’s part human

Him was cursed by an evil Jelly Witch

Didn’t have no reason, she was just a bitch

Some kids were boatin’ and smokin’ a spliff

Reggae Shark swam over to ask for a hit

The kids start screamin’ and one of them drowned

Now the sheriff and his posse gonna hunt him down

Reggae Shark got no political agenda

Reggae Shark!

He just wants redemption

Reggae Shark!

And he also wants ganja

But you can’t light a spliff when you live underwater

One day a drug boat had to drop its load

Reggae Shark come along and him eat it whole

Now he’s starvin’ like marvin’, got the munchies

Then him see the evil sheriff and all his flunkies

He put his fins in the air and said “It wasn’t me fault!”

But the sheriff said “Fire” and the rifles shot

But it was just a shark decoy tied to a raft

Cus the Reggae Shark’s a master of da arts and crafts

Reggae Shark!

He jumped on the boat

And the sheriff fell down his throat

The townspeople cheered and said “You brought us peace

You took a bite of corruption in the town police”

They threw him a huge ticker tape parade

Cus they know that he balances the food chain

They gave him the key to Kingstontown

You should see the tourism he brings in now

“You redeemed yourself” said the Jelly Witch

Me can reverse that curse and grant your wish

Him looked at the witch and he say “Nay

Cus I’m a Reggae Shark and that’s the way I’ll stay!”

Reggae Shark, Reggae Shark, Reggae Shark!….
