She came     down from        Cincinna-       ti
It took her  three days       on the          train.
             Lookin' for some peace and qui-  et
             Hoped to see the sun again
But now she  lives down       by the          ocean
She's takin' care to          look for sharks
They         hang out         in the lo-      cal bars
And they     feed right       after dark

Am7                Dm7                Am7                                 Dm7
Can't you feel 'em cir-clin', honey?  Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?
        Bb          C     Bb          C                     Bb   C            F
You got fins to the left, fins to the right, and you're the only bait in town.
You got fins to the left, fins to the right, and you're the only bait in town.

[Additional lyrics]
She's saving up all of her money
Wants to head it south in May
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man
Somewhere down Montserrat way.
But the money's good in the season
Helps to lighten her load
Boys keep her high as the months go by
She's getting postcards from the road.

Sailed off to Antigua
It took her three days on a boat
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
Maybe keep her dreams afloat
But now she feels like a remora
'Cause the school's still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
Of the sharks that can swim on the land.
