lyrics

Little bitty Betty, she was only eleven
When her family hit the beach for a summer vacation
All they wanted was a little fun
Build a sand castle, soak up the sun
Betty and her family wanted to cool down
So they jumped in the ocean and swam around
Splish and splash in a waving pool bath
About to feel the wrath of a shark attack

It started the same old way
Summer vacation with the family
It started the same old way
Disney World would have been great, but we're gonna hit the beach today
It started the same old way
A giant wave pool, a yippee yi-ay!
It started the same old way

Above the water, they saw a fin
Coming right towards them, this could be the end
Faster and faster, they try to swim
But sharks are so fast once they see human skin

It was a shark attack
Tasty like a Scooby Snack
It was a shark attack
Shark's wanted something new
Sick of slow motion Baywatch crews
Now they're hungry...for you!

Brittany was a preppy-prep chick
Kinda pretty but quick to be a prick
All of her friends dated the football team
They decided spring break in Cabo would be sweet
They didn't know what they were up against
Shark attack season was about to commence
What should have been fun, who would've known?
That Brittany and her friends would never come home

It started the same old way
Thoughts of bikinis and a beach par-tay
It started the same old way
Ready for a disco party and feeling a little naughty
It started the same old way
I need a tan and a chance to get away
It started the same old way

Above the water, they saw a fin
Coming right towards them, this could be the end
Faster and faster, they try to swim
But sharks are so fast once they see human skin

It was a shark attack
Tasty like a Scooby Snack
It was a shark attack
Lifeguards watched from the watchtower
These beach-goers were in their final hours
About to be devoured

Guys are looking for the Floosie Bunk
While the ladies are looking for a boy-toy hunk
But Summer Lovin' - ended up dead
There's no skinny dipping when the water runs red
For the sharks its like Halloween
A nougat centered fatty or lean Eugene
They're out there trick-or-treating for shoobies
The other white meat

It started the same old way
Beach party in the U.S.A.
It started the same old way
Come on guys there's no way that we're gonna be a shark entree
It started the same old way
Beach volleyball is full of babes
It started the same old way

Above the water, they saw a fin
Coming right towards them, this could be the end
Faster and faster, they try to swim
But sharks are so fast once they see human skin
