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

Takin' care to look for sharks

They hang out in the local bars

And they feed right after dark



Chorus:

Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey

Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around

You've got fins to the left, fins to the right

And you're the only bait in town

Oh oh

Oh oh

You've 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 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 up her load

Boys keep her high as the months go by

She's gettin' postcards from the road



Chorus:

Can't you feel 'em closin' in, honey

Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around

You've 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



Chorus:

Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey

Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around

You've got fins to the left, fins to the right

And you're the only bait in town

You've got fins to the left, fins to the right

And you're the only girl in town
