Creature Languages, 4/6, Period 3
Dream may have drawn some inspiration from the dancing lemurs of the day before, because The B-52's song Rock Lobster is blaring on an endless loop as students file in, and the desks have been pushed to the side, creating a makeshift dance floor.
"Hello. Today, we are going to learn about the lobster. Our text is an English version of an old Lobster folk tale. In Lobster, it is called, "The Human Invaders Celebrate." The translation, however, is called "Rock Lobster."
Spend this class period practicing the folk dance, as shown in in your handouts."
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
He's in a giant clam
Down, down...
Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'
Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Mussels flexin'
Flippers flippin'
Down, down...
Let's rock!
Boys in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'
Twistin' round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun
Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter
Here comes a stringray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that pirahna
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!
