A skinny old man sure appealed to me His name by now, I´m sure you know The man who played a starring role in Jacques Cousteau Oh, I
And ever since then I´ve written the dude Dreaming of swimming around the Coral reef I´d even bought my camera and my scuba gear If only Jacques had called to stop a career Oh, I
(chorus) I wanna be a narrator I wanna be a narrator (I wanna be a narrator) For the Jacques Cousteau show For the Jacques Cousteau show (for the Jacques Cousteau show)
Swimming under water with my microphone I´d record noises in the aqua-zone Chasing down the killer whale that´s eating our crew Just to bring the story facts back to you Oh, I
(repeat chorus)
I´ve written the networks, sent my picture too Done everything I could possibly do I´ve given up trying to get through to him Maybe he knows I don´t know how to swim Oh, I
