The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin' along |
|
Minding his business one day |
|
Rooting and sniffing and urging to spawn |
|
In the mud flats of San Pablo Bay |
|
A scent came around so he followed his snout |
|
He found what was to his surprise |
|
A golden morsel, a tidbit, a tight bunch of grass shrimp |
|
Was there right before this buck's eyes |
|
He circle round twice and he took a big whiff |
|
Then sucked up this savory meal |
|
Then came a jolt and to the diamondback's surprise |
|
Through his lips cut the cold, barbed steel |
|
In a panic the old diamondback sped to the north |
|
He sped to the east, west and south |
|
But the harder he swam, he still could not break free |
|
From the "tugging" that pulled at his mouth |
|
The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin' along |
|
Minding his business one day |
