The waves they make no sound
The water’s cold tonight and there’s death in the deep blue sea
A death for all to see
Someone suspects foul play
A school of cod are gathered
‘cause excitement’s beyond compare
The Fish Police were there
It was death by squid
Inspector Claw’s face turned beet red
He saw the marks on the girl but he still tried to keep his cool
A lobster ain’t no fool
There’s a feeling of electricity
The first suspect’s been caught and the law wants to make a deal
But the eel he will not squeal
He knows it’s death by …
He knows, he knows, he knows it’s squid (4x)
(instrumental break)
The suction marks had ‘em all confused
The Fish Police said we’d better get some help or this guy will fry
Enter one private plankti
The private plankti couldn’t get nowhere
He felt the depth and the pressure so he called in an old card shark
The shark he was a narc
Sharky said “death by squid”
