The Sharks and the Baracudas

One calm summer night I visited the city aquarium and I noticed the sharks and the barracudas Playing a lovely game of tennis Yeah, the sharks and The Barracudas are just Sitting around eating Strawberries and drinking tea How could this be? The great white shark called out, "the surf is up!" and The speedy barracuda replied, "fifteen Luv!" How could this be? Suddenly, the sharks and the barracudas Noticed me standing there, and Standing on the other side Well, they all agreed, If you want to learn how to swim with The sharks and the barracudas, First, you must learn how to play the game! Oh, what a lovely sport it is! Are you from Essex? Well Its so lovely there, this time of year.
