Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
A                       C G    Bb E
The fins a luminous
A
Fangs all 'round the clam is dark

All the sunlight's good for us

  Cause we're the fishes and all we do
E                   G        Am
  The move about is all we do
      D           E                   A
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you
