Lyrics
Squalo D'Affari
The Italian Shark
Always handled his business
Never missed his mark
Then one day in the ocean deep
Where the mermaids play
And the Kraken Sleeps
Active volcanos
You can feel the heat
And Squalo D'Affari could smell defeat
He swam through the trench
With a steady creep
And in the dark
He heard the voices speak
"Squalo"
"You need to find the golden harp"
"Let the music play"
"And watch the party start"
"Look out for the Kraken"
"Cause you know he's smart"
"Pitch him the business"
"Right through his heart"
"The jelly fish"
"They will lead the spark"
"You'll need that"
"If you want to light the dark"
"Through the trench"
"Your journey starts"
Squalo grinned his teeth
With a quick depart
And on a thirsty mission
He started to embark
Armed to the teeth
Razor sharp
Precision harpoon
With the poison dart
Trained to kill
In the bloody arts
A business shark
Could never be a narc
He passed the Kraken
And approached the harp
It started to sing
So listen and hark
We handle business all day
We always work with no play
Until the Kraken gets slayed
And Squalo D'Affari gets paid
Mermaids play in water
Foolish out of school fish
Do you know who I am
I'll give you a clue
What's Kraken
I am
How many adventures here
Only to disappear
(Ha ha)
A mermaids motives
Are always insincere
And yours are crystal clear
Sent to interfere
Just another business shark
With no business here
You want the harp
Then take it
You haven't arms to play it
See I was like you once
Without limbs
Lacking the means
To cling
To things
Until I grew some
But I must warn you
There's always more loot
You see
And once you grow one limb
You will only want "two" or "three"
There's always more things to hoard
And more trinkets stored
Means more reasons you're
Going to need even more
"three" or "four" arms at least
"five" and "six" legs increase
Into "seven"
Until you're an "eight" legged beast
Of a "nine" arm monstrosity
Appendages "ten"
A giant squid
Leviathan
When will it end
You can't know what a Kraken is
Until it has you gripped
Wrapped in a mass of tentacles
Deep in the black abyss
A legend whispered on the haggard lips
Of passing ships
For a harpsichord
Then indulge
To your heart's accord
You be the Kraken
I'll be the shark
The harp is yours
We handle business all day
We always work with no play
Until the Kraken gets slayed
And Squalo D'Affari gets paid
Mermaids play in water
