Lyrics
I had a headache my body felt cold But I was still kinda young, twenty-six years old Poisons of all sort flowed through my brain I never felt sorrow and I rarely felt pain Why did I always wear a frown What was it? What was getting me down ? The problem is I ain't no city-slicker I dig street sounds, but I ain't no quick sticker I like bashing lips of a different kind If I don't get wet soon, I'm gonna loose my mind I closed up shop, I locked my house up tight. I headed for the ocean in the middle of the night First by foot, then a bus and a train I arrived at a lonely beach that had no name. I waxed up, then I paddled out alone. But what I saw next almost turned me to stone A lovely mermaid with snakes for hair. I was immobilized by her deep, sultry stare Every word she said was like a little song This was no hallucination, my mind wasn't gone. She said; Excuse me landman, but I want to make a baby I said; Let me think about it...maybe But fifteen seconds later, I said all right And sixteen seconds later is when I saw the light She began glowing just like a ball of fire But where the hell had gone my desire? I didn't know whether to worship her..or buck Was I dead, or was this just good luck She said; Landman, don't be nervous don't be shy But if you don't give it to me I will probably die All right, Your Highness...if it's a matter of life and death I'll give you what you ask, I'll give you my best Didn't know much about being a father to a fish But she'd more than convinced me to do as she wished We did it upside right and upside down Under the water and above ground After twenty-four hours we finished the deed The she asked me, Now lanman is there anything that you need I said You sweet fish you there is only one thing that I would like you to do Take me with you to your underwater world Cuz I care about you Miss half-fish/Miss half-girl She said that Posedon wouldn't like it much But that she'd try to talk with him today at lunch To our surprise, Poseidon didn't dispute a thing Just said, a brother Greek to be a future king Me? A fish king in the ocean blue That sounded all right I needed a life that was new We go married the very next week No more cars for me, no more city streets I learned to breath water, like I used to breath air Snakes grew from my head where there used to be hair In a few short months Manta's belly grew And not long after that, she became two. NOW I'M A FISHDADDY NEVER EVER THOUGHT I'D BE A FISHDADDY SO VERY GLAD TO BE A FISHDADDY FOREVER WANT TO BE A FISHDADDY Big mermaid, little mermaid both so sweet I spent my days finding them things to eat Little fish and lulas* sometimes a worm Life was even sweeter since Baby Manta was born But when Baby Manta got a little more bigger She began to develop a lovely mermaid figure And soon all of the sharks wanted a piece of her ass Wanted to slam her in the forest of sea grass Me and Big Manta, we were worried about our baby Hoped she'd grow up to be a nice mermaid lady So we decided to move to the Atlantic But instead of helping her, Baby Manta became frantic. The Atlantic shraks were just as bad as the rest All this temptation was putting our baby to the test I caught her in a cave with shark, Saltwater Jim Had his jaws on her nipple and was trying to work his fin in I bit Jim in his back with my knifelike teeth He robbed Baby's innocence, soggy sucker was a thief Daddy, Baby said, Why did you do what you did? I'm a big fish now, I'm not no fishkid BUT WHAT'S A FISHDADDY TO DO? BUT WHAT'S A FISHDADDY TO DO? Could someone please tell me, Cuz I ain't got a clue BUT WHAT'S A FISHDADDY TO DO? BUT WHAT'S A FISHDADDY TO DO? All right Baby, do what you want but be home by one. Please be careful don't have too much fun Oh daddy, you can count on me I'll be a good little mermaid, you'll see When I got home, I told Manta your daughter is crazy She said, She's yours too...as a father you're lazy Soon baby manta started dating Perry He was the porpoise with a purpose. He worked part-time at the underwater Red Cross Surplus Perry and Baby Manta got married the tenth of June Big Manta sang a beautiful ocean tune The honeymooned in an old shipwreck The word Los Angeles was painted on the deck That brought back many things for me to remember It'd been eighteen years ago last September When I first met Manta as a lovely young mermaid Whose beauty alone had left me in a daze Out in the ocean, front of that no-name beach I'd gotten wet that day to get off the street A damn it I'm so very glad I did I'm a happy fishdaddy with a wife and fishkid NOW I'M A FISHDADDY NEVER EVER THOUGHT I'D BE A FISHDADDY SO VERY GLAD TO BE A FISHDADDY FOREVER WANT TO BE A FISHDADDY
