Grandpa's Groove

The old man Santiago didn't catch a fish for days
He returned unhappy and was pretty damn ashamed
He tells his grandson Manolin about this one last move
Manolin thinks to himself, "this is grandpa's groove"

So on the 85th day of his unlucky streak
He caught a marlin, dragging forth his boat down the stream
Santiago's friends they caught the fish with his harpoon
The marlin thought to himself, "this is grandpa's groove"

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba
Ba-da-ba-da, bow, uhm
Da-ba-da-buh-di-buh
Yeah this is grandpa's groove
Everyone they were screaming out
"That was grandpa's groove"

So on the 85th day of his unlucky streak
He caught a marlin, dragging forth his boat down the stream
Santiago's friends they caught the fish with his harpoon
The marlin thought to himself, "this is grandpa's groove"

The marlin died a bloody death, along came many sharks
They attacked the fisherman, but couldn't kill this spark
When he came home with the skeleton of the marlin as his proof
Everyone was screaming out, "this is grandpa's groove"

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba
Ba-da-ba-da, bow
Mmm da-ba-da-buh-di-buh
Yeah this is grandpa's groove
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba
Ba-da-ba-da, bow
Mmm da-ba-da-buh-di-buh
Yeah this is grandpa's groove
Ooh la-la-la, la-lam-pi-dam
Yeah grandpa got those moves
And everyone were screaming out
"This is grandpa's groove"
