1910 fruitgum company - the story of flipper lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was a+sailing for three days a+headed for england
just me swinging [?]
when my raft got blown up
torpedoed by an eskimo submarine

[verse 2]
i swam for three days, i swam for three nights
i finally rested upon a log
when i bumped head+on into a queasy fish
who was lost upon the fog

[verse 3]
i told him my hard+luck story
and of the raft i was the skipper
he said “hop aboard i’m gonna take you to shore
i’m the friendly dolphin flipper”

[chorus 1]
well, flipper [?] really through me
and how it all couldn’t be so fine
every time i thought about it
it nearly blew my mind

[verse 4]
it was in about three days of traveling time
we finally made it to the shore
i handed him a five+dollar bill
he replied “man, what’s this for?”
[verse 5]
i said “i’m awful sorry, man
i wish i could have paid you more”
he said “it’s quite alright i understand
we fish been underpaid before

[verse 6]
i don’t need your five dollar bill, man
and i know just where it’s been
can’t you see i’m a fish, man
i don’t need another fin”

[chorus 2]
just then i rolled off his back
and i swam three+hundred feet to land
and i saw him wave goodbye with his fin
he did that because he did not have a hand

[verse 7]
well, i was kinda shook at the whole scene
i didn’t really know where it was at
but 30 natives was chasing me
and i did not fancy that

[verse 8]
so i ran up the side of a mountain
and i rested beneath the trees
when i woke up
rip van winkle he smiled and said “howdy!”
[verse 9]
i asked him where the phone was
and if it really was true
he said “yes, the phone is just around the corner
it’s red white and blue”

[chorus 3]
well just then he shook my hand
and started running for his life
and i heard him say as he left me
said he had a nagging wife

[verse 10]
well, i was shimmying up the side of a coconut tree
to use the payphone
when i discovered i dialed the wrong number
and my only dime was gone

[verse 11]
so i decided it was about time to move on
and i climbed down from the tree
but there were 30 natives and they were down at the bottom
all lookin’ up at me

[verse 12]
they told me i should come on down
because they just want to use the phone
and if i had came down in a hurry
they were gonna help me find my home
[chorus 3]
so, like a fool i believed them
and i came down from the tree
and really, st. peter
that’s exactly what happened to me

[outro: spoken]
that’s all, man!
