"Scuba Bob"
(lyrics & music by Joe Braverman)
If ever was a man
at ease with manatees,
it was Scuba Bob
Friendly with anemones
Ocean currents were his breeze,
jellyfish, his stinging bees
Whales would entertain him with their tales
He reached out to the hammerheads
They were glad to clip his nails
He led a bubble life,
kept secret from the boaters and their sails
And the only times he didn't feel well
were the times when his mask didn't seal well
The trouble was the bubbles
that escaped due to his stubble
Detective Snooparoni once called upon Bob (with a heavy sigh),
"I've got a case with a heavy lid.."
Bob said, "Yo, Tony, I'll help you (before the ink runs dry)
I'll help you find your squid
I only ask you one thing, for my help (and for a quid)
A big ol' bag of kelp (It is my favorite dish)
And remember,
It takes a village to raise a man,
but a manta ray's a fish
