Wet Dream (Kip Adatta)

[dark_puck]

It was April the forty-first, being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay, pal?"

While they were doing that, I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar
A real dive
But I knew the owner. He used to play for the Dolphins. I said, "Hi, Gil!"
You have to yell; he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream
Gil was also down on his luck. Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar. He poured me the usual:
Rusty snail, hold the grunion, shaken not stirred, with a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin-- on porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines
They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna: Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail
And she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom. She was too deep.
Seemed to be under a lot of pressure.
Boy, could she drink! She drank like a...
She drank a lot

I said, "What's your sign?"
She said, "Aquarium."
I said, "Great, let's get tanked!"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream
I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said, "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line, "Not tonight, I got a haddock."

And she wasn't kidding either, 'cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I'd ever seen come down the pike.
He was covered with mussels.
He came over to me and said, "Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here!"
What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said, "A-balone, you're just being shellfish!"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil, ‘Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke! but there he was lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods, Gil, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon."
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said, "Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish. What's your name?"
I said, "Marlin."

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream
Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
