Hammerhead Shark

(album: A Little Ain't Enough - 1991)

It was a time of trouble and a time of grief
Kings lay with whores and begat thieves
Yeah the world was wicked and their hearts were cold
Noah said to his missus, "Well, it's time to go"

Lord said to Noah, "'Fore ya float that arc
You better save me a space for my hammerhead shark
Whoa yeah, the Hammerhead Shark

Now, now now Johnny was bad, liked to drink and fight
And he raised big hell every Saturday night
When the sheriff found him nearly broken in two
Sheriff said to Johnny, "Well, I think I know who

If he had teeth like knives and skin like bark
You musta rumbled it up with a Hammerhead Shark
Mmm, the Hammerhead Shark

A woman went to court, entered her plea
Said, "Keep my husband away from me...
He don't understand what a man should know
By the time I could teach him, he'd be far too old!

Judge I found a lover ain't afraid of the dark
Honey, I'm in love with a Hammerhead Shark"
Oh, Hammerhead Shark

Watch me know, watch me know
(Here he comes)
Ah, take it easy baby, Take it easy
(Here he comes)
Watch me know, watch me know
(Here he comes)
Wow

Over there, over there
Wooh

Women all over, across the USA
Got spoiled to death in the hammerhead way
President went to Congress, here's what he said:
"Gentlemen, our honor has been betrayed!

We're in deep, deep water, 'less I missed my mark
Put out an APB on the Hammerhead Shark!"
Wow!

A woman went to court, entered her plea
Said, "Keep my husband away from me...
He don't understand what a man should know
By the time I could teach him, he'd be far too old!

Beep bop belula bitty bop shoo wow!
I found a lover ain't afraid of the dark
Honey, I'm in love with a Hammerhead Shark
Whoa, the Hammerhead Shark

Wow
Yeah, the Hammerhead Shark
Ooh, the hammer, hammerhead
Swim away baby
Just a Hammerhead Shark
Ooh, shake it baby
How, how, how, how, how
Swim a lil' faster, mama, woo wee
Just a Hammerhead Shark
Yeah, a shark on the street mama
