lyrics

They are the most feared and hated
Monsters of the deep and wide
Stalking the four oceans and seven seas
Oh lord, it feels so good
Knowing the sharks are gone

If you really wanna go out and surf, swim or dive buddy
Don't get too far away from shore
Listen to the lifeguards
Watching the bay and patrolling the beach
There's a danger that lurks at the bottom of the dark waters
I won't be in it if I stay on top
It's too far beneath
I'm out of range of their snapping jaws and sharp teeth
And circling fins
I shouldn't even be able to see their tails spin
The sharks are down
Chasing the whales around

If I don't bother them
They won't bother me
As long as I stay close to the surface
In the waves and foam
I can frolic like a dolphin or a porpoise

The sharks are down
Chasing the seals around
The sharks are down
Chasing the eels around

I guess I'll leave you in the sand and on the rocks
You can go fishing, drive your truck or bounce your ball
You're looking at a pro
I'm well trained and skilled in aquatic safety
This I say to you my fine young friend and pal
If you ever seek or have adventures under sea
In your scuba gear you better make sure the sharks are not here
You may find me petting an octopus
But you'll never catch me feeding crabs
I know how to handle myself
With a harpoon or spear I'm a real good stab
I'm not frightened or scared for anything I'm ready and prepared
I've been on vacation
Keeping out of hazardous situations

The sharks are down
Chasing the fish around
Oh lord it feels so good
Knowing the sharks are gone
It's like a poem
Knowing the sharks are gone
