There are sharks in my pool And I think they're just playing mean and cruel But it makes me sad that I can't swim And ask my friends 'round to jump on in 'Cos if I trusted them to not eat me alive, eat me alive I would be desert – sugar and spice, they'd eat me alive There are hawks in my sky And they are swooping as I pass by The thickness of my skin don't count When they're scratching at my eye 'Cos if I trusted them to not eat me alive, eat me alive I would be desert – served with a warm chai, they'd eat me alive Now it's time to call or fold To turn the young in to the old To turn the weak in to the wise The circus freak with no disguise 'Cos if I trusted them to not eat me alive, eat me alive I would be desert served with a warm chai, they'd eat me alive There are sharks in my pool And I think they're just playing mean and cruel But it makes me sad that I can't swim
