Song Lyrics

"Fins to the left...
Fins to the right...
Feeding Frenzy recorded live in Cincinnati tonight!"
She came down from Cincinnati
It took her three days on a train
Lookin` for some peace and quiet
Hopes to see the sun again

Lives down by the ocean
Takin` care to look for sharks
They hang out down around the Waterfront way
And feed right after dark

Chorus:
Can`t you feel `em circlin`, honey
Can`t you feel `em schoolin` around
Fins to the left, fins to the right
You`re the only bait in town
Oh oh
Oh oh
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
You`re the only bait in town

Saving up most of her money
"I thought I saw something"
Wants to head it south in May
Roll in the sand with a rock `n` roll man
Somewhere down Montserrat way

The money`s still good in the season
Helps to lighten up her load
Boys keep her high as the months roll by
She`s getting postcards from the road

Chorus:
Can`t you feel `em closin` in, honey
Can`t you feel `em schoolin` around
Fins to the left, fins to the right
You`re the only bait in town

Sailed off to Antigua
Three days on a boat
Lookin` for some peace and quiet
Hopes to keep her dreams afloat

Feels like a remora
School`s still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
The sharks that swim on the land

Chorus:
Can`t you feel `em circlin`, honey
Can`t you feel `em schoolin` around
Fins to the left, fins to the right
You`re the only bait in town
Hey you got fins to the left, fins to the right
You`re the only girl in town

"Oh yeah! Sittin` here in the city of Atlanta, the state of Georgia, on the island of Margaritaville. Please remain standing for the national anthem."
