This song is available on Birdsong and the Eco-Wonder's album If I Were A Fish
I want to tell you ‘bout my fascination with a fish that has a bad reputation.
I think this fish is misunderstood, so I tried to find out all that I could.
It’s a top predator in the sea food chain, has many sizes, shapes, colors and names.
A mysterious creature with adapted features for hunting in the sea because it has
to eat. If you know the fish that I’m talking about,
Just say it out loud, just give it a shout.
1 2 3 4.. SHARKS! Sharks, sharks…
Chorus:
Sharks, sharks. Sharks, sharks. Fascinating, quite amazing sharks, sharks.
Sharks, sharks. Sharks, sharks. Fascinating, quite amazing sharks, sharks,
Sharks, sharks.
I’m wonderin,’ what all the fuss is about with a fish that hardly ever bothers us.
So I went to the aquarium to try to look a shark right in the eye.
I saw tiger sharks, zebras, hammerheads too, pygmies, bulls, and
pointy snouted blues. The one with the silver tip, a curious dude…
Very sharp teeth for catching food. Magnificent creatures, sharks so fine, with
Sensitive snouts, a streamlined design.
Been here 400 million years or more. Well that’s even older than a dinosaur!
I know you know who I’m talking about. Just say it out loud, just give it a shout!
1 2 3 4.. SHARKS! Sharks, sharks…
Chorus
It’s true sharks have a powerful bite, but humans beings are not their food type.
But there is something that I do fear: It’s that million of sharks are killed each
year . . . by those who don’t understand their importance.
They think that all sharks are just a nuisance.
But sharks are doing their job in the sea. They actually help the fish stay healthy.
I say it’s time that we started conserving ocean sharks that are deserving
Of our protection and respectin’ . . . of our protection and respectin.’
I know you know who I’m talking about. Just say it out loud, just give it a shout!
1 2 3 4 …SHARKS! Sharks, sharks.
Chorus
