Shark Bait
Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Ted
A poor fisherman, barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was fishing for some bass
When he slipped in his boat and fell on his ass
Then a big wave came, overturned his boat
Old Ted thought that was all she wrote
Well the next thing you know Ted almost drowned
The kinfolk thought he was heaven bound
They said "Ted you should leave the sea"
But old Ted just didn't agree
So he went out next day, just after dark
And that's when Old Ted was eaten by a shark!
The next morning the kinfolk gathered by the sea
They said "He shoulda moved with cousin Jed down in Beverly" (Hills)
