lyrics

I picked up Debbie from the corner soda shop
We drove my car towards the ocean 'til the cop said we hadda stop
We threw our boards in the water and we kicked through the surf
We didn't stop to think that we were leaving our turf
Then Debbie made a noise and a monster rose outta the earth!

We're being chased by a shark!
He's got real big teeth!
We're being chased by a shark!
He's pulling Debbie beneath!
Oh yeah!

I tried to go catch him but he was swimmin' way too fast
I saw a piece of Debbie's board and I knew that shark had made it his snack
I thought of all the love me and Debbie had had
And knowin' that shark had her started makin' me mad
And then he flashed right by me and I grabbed his fin and rode on his back!

I'm being chased by a shark!
He's got real big teeth!
I'm being chased by a shark!
He's pullin' Debbie beneath!
Oh yeah!

I squeezed the shark's gills and I forced him to come up for air
I noticed that shark, on his back he had a lot of hair
I put my hands round his throat and shouted "Shark, you're dead!"
And when he looked at me I saw my Uncle Ted!
He fooled us by holding his hand like a fin on his head!

We're being chased by a shark!
He's got real big teeth!
We're being chased by a shark!
He's pulling Debbie beneath!
We're being chased by a shark!
