Nimble on the ocean floor
Meaty as an apple core
Some might call you ugly, but
I think you're cute as a button
A button
Spawned afloat from floating eggs
Nimble on some makeshift legs
Some might call you freaky, well
I think you're a job well done
Well done (well done)
I see you, I see you
Young armored searobin
Ya, ya gotta keep the meanies out
I know that, I know that
Your sore heart is throbbin'
And that's what the armor's all about
And I know you're the type
To go scuttle
No, no ain't no stoppin' you
And I won't take it wrong
So go scuttle
You armored searobin, you
If nature gives you vertigo
Then what's the harm in lyin' low?
Let your fin rays scavenge about
The food you'll find is enough
It's enough
You can handle any dish
Built like a fish tank, not a fish tank like the ones in aquariums but just a tank-like fish
'Cause you are tough
You're so tough
I see you, I see you
Young armored searobin
Ya, ya gotta keep the meanies out
I know that, I know that
Your sore heart is throbbin'
And that's what the armor's all about
And I know you're the type
To go scuttle
No, no ain't no stoppin' you
And I won't take it wrong
So go scuttle
You armored searobin, you
And I know you're the type
To go scuttle
No, no ain't no stoppin' you
And I won't take it wrong
So go scuttle
You armored searobin, you

Tame the lionfish
Tame the lionfish
So like, I know the very idea of a lionfish is funny
And it's even funnier to think of them
As being this serious threat that could take over the world
'Cause what are they? Just catfish but bigger?
Well, no, but that's another topic
Lionfish are kind of a legitimate threat to the ecosystem, believe it or not
And there's only one solution that I can find to fighting them off
We must devour them
No need to be a barbarian
Just become pescatarian
If conservation is what you wish
Save a reef, eat a lionfish
They're comin' for your coastal town
To multiply like Watership Down
They pillage and they plunder reef
They're causin' lot of no-good grief
It's underwater under fire
Venom from barbs like wire
It's Star Trek but a sea scene
Like TOS S2:E15
Tame the lionfish
Tame the lionfish
It's our fault; we let 'em loose
And now it's endless duck duck goose
With predators in short supply
They'll say hello but never goodbye
We gotta take the waters back
And lionfish are healthy snacks
So take 'em down and cook 'em up
It's time to eat the eaters, yup
No need to be a barbarian
Just become pescatarian
If conservation is what you wish
Save a reef, eat a lionfish
No need to be a barbarian
Just become pescatarian
If conservation is what you wish
Save a reef, eat a lionfish
(CAJ)
Me no like no lionfish
Everybody quiet - shhh
Caught 'em in my net - swish
They're worse than all my exes
I need a show on Netflix
Caught 'em down in Texas
Had 'em all for breakfast
No escape, no Brexit
Hope you get this message
They take the reef and wreck it
No need to be a barbarian
Just become pescatarian
If conservation is what you wish
Save a reef, eat a lionfish
No need to be a barbarian
Just become pescatarian
If conservation is what you wish
Save a reef, eat a lionfish
Tame the lionfish
Tame the lionfish

Once there was a fish
That had a dream
Of great and mythical ambition
And it was so niche
So extreme
It drew guffaws at every mention
For it was a wish
To break routine
And grow a unicorn extension
Grow that horn
Grow that horn
Grow that horn
Grow that horn, yeah
Grow that horn
Grow that horn, yeah
It would never relent
It would not be the same as those ill-fated
Unpersuaded
And jaded old fish that swam in schools of thought with primal fears in tow
And millennia went
And millennia came, so dedicated
It waited
And waited to reap the dream that it had planted all those years ago
Grow that horn
Grow that horn
Grow that horn
Grow that horn, yeah
Grow that horn
Grow that horn, yeah
They called unicorns fake
And though maybe they were, the fish persisted
Resisted
Insisted a horn would grow and turn a myth into reality
And in time it did make
Such a crow-eating stir as there protruded
A rooted
Well-suited forehead extension, yes, a lovely horn for all to see
Unicorn
Unicorn
Unicorn
Unicorn, you're a
Unicorn
Unicorn, you're a
Unicorn

I saw the great white on the movie screen
Need a bigger boat, y'know what I mean?
Terror on the beach and haunting the waves
Better stay out or it's watery graves
Don't touch a shark, I thought
Never touch a shark
I saw a great white on the movie screen
Fish are friends, y'know what I mean?
But all it takes is a whiff of blood
For primal senses to pour and flood
Don't trust a shark, I thought
Never trust a shark
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Had a late night at the computer screen
Rabbit hole wiki, y'know what I mean?
How long have I been unaware
That shark attacks are incredibly rare
Learned about the bonnethead shark
Harmless as a meadowlark
Eats crabs and grass and little more
Proof a shark can be an omnivore
Don't judge a shark, I saw
Don't misjudge a shark
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Saw a state fight on the TV screen
Tear gas clouds, y'know what I mean?
The man said sharks are a dangerous fish
The man said that's just the way that it is
Heard my old self in what the man said
As they harpooned a bonnethead
And oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
Oh, the more you know
