Shark Safari
A cheerful fishing trip hides a sinister joke: the invited friend is not crew so much as chum.

Shark Safari
By Smartass Amoeba
verseCome on buddy, grab a bucket
Let's cast off and be underway
She's loaded up and ready to sail
Let's embark on this beautiful day
verseChart shows shark-infested waters
I'll steer a course, headin' that way
Just a couple of mates on safari
With a flat calm and a gentle sway
pre-chorusGood friends out here in the breeze
Full throttle; the boat shakes
We're gonna skewer that beast
No matter what it takes
chorusIt's a shark safari
So glad you could come
With a friend like you
Who needs a chum?
breakChum the waters
Set the bait
Chum the waters
Set the bait
Chum the waters
Thank you mate
Chum the waters
Thank you mate
Here comes the fish
It answered the call
Thank you mate
For giving your all
instrumental - surf guitar break
chorusIt's a shark safari
So glad you could come
With a friend like you
Who needs a chum?
bridgeWe chummed the waters
The big fish came
Oh what a lunker
We'll remember your name
chorusA successful hunt
All thanks to you
A real pal and chum
You made a fine crew
