She came down from Cincinnati.
It took her three days on a train.
Lookin´ for some peace and quiet;
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 local bars,
And they feed right after dark.

Can´t you feel ´em circlin´ honey?
Can´t you feel ´em swimmin´ around?
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 girl in town.

She´s savin´ up all of her money.
Wants to head 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 gettin´ postcards from the road.

Can´t you feel ´em circlin´ honey?
Can´t you feel ´em swimmin´ around?
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 girl in town.

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.

Can´t you feel ´em circlin´ honey?
Can´t you feel ´em swimmin´ around?
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 girl in town.
