She came down from Cincinnati It took her three days on a train
Looking for some peace and quiet Hoped to see the sun again
But now she lives down by the ocean She's taking care to look for sharks
They hang out in the local bars And they feed right after dark
* Can't you feel them circling, honey? Can't you feel them swimming around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only bait in town
Oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa
You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only girl in town
She's saving up all of her money Wants to hit it south in May
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n roll man Somewhere down Montserrat Way
But the money's good, and the season Helps to lighten up her load
Boys keep her high as the months go by She's getting postcards from the road

Sailed off to Antigua It took her three days on a boat
Looking for some peace and quiet Maybe keep her dreams afloat
But now she feels like a remora With the school still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth Of the sharks that can swim on the land
