Sharks in the water

Joe Romersa

there's many ways to die, the game is to survive,
come someone from behind, he'll eat you up alive.
Rockin' Randy ran outta the room,
Rantin' ravin' 'bout doom and gloom,
He just lost a bet on a sure thing nag now the bookie's getting rich, Randy's holdin' the bag,
Says a tall dark man in a pin stripe suit, with a sinister grin and a knife in his boot, he said "It's better to pay the Piper today than to pay the Fiddler tomorrow!"
Look out, don't stop, there's sharks in the water,
Look out, don't stop, there's sharks out to get ya
Look out, don't stop, there's sharks in the water,
Look out, don't stop, there's sharks out to get ya
there's many ways to die, the game is to survive,
come someone from behind, he'll eat you up alive.
Sammy Jack was out in the back,
Shooting his horse and smoking his crack,
He sold his house and his wife's mink coat,
He sold the car, he sold the boat,
A short fat man with a gun in his hand,
Told Sammy " The party is over,
and if you don't pay the balance today,
you'll meet the Reaper tomorrow!"
Look out, don't stop, there's sharks in the water,
Look out, don't stop, there's sharks out to get ya
It was about five AM, and there he was,
He was o
nly a trembling resemblance to a man I use to know, he looked around the room, wiped his sweat from his brow and told me the whole story about the money he owes, the bomb threats, and the habits responsible for his condition, I warned him about the sharks, now it's up to him to stay out of the water
