I feel so out of place here

With this high society

These high fallutin' people

Don't know what to make of me

I feel like a minnow in a sea of moby dicks

A small fry in a big pan

They're caviar -- i'm fish sticks

Fish out of water

I know i don't belong

Fish out of water

Everything i do is wrong

My style of hair, the clothes i wear

The way i speak, the things i eat

The way i act, my lack of tact

Nothin' seems to fit

Fish out of water

Flounderin' round

Out of my element



But i'm just as good as they are

Why do i feel second rate

It's like, "sorry charlie,

We want only tuna with good taste"

I guess you could say wal-mart

Is quite a way from gucci's

I'm timex, they're rolex

I'm captain d's, they're sushi



Fish out of water

I've had it to the gills

Fish out of water

With these yuppie-guppie frills

Yeah, i'm a square in a round hole

A catfish in a goldfish bowl

A little fish with lots of soul

Out of my element

Fish out of water

Flounderin' round just for the halibut



Save me, save me

S.o.s. somebody

Save me, save me

Somebody rescue me



Fish out of water

Somebody throw me in

Fish out of water

On a scale of one to ten

I'm a two, perhaps a three

Compared to the big fish in the sea

I'm washed ashore so save me please

I'm in an awful fix

Fish out of water

Rescue me

And you better do it quick

Fish out of water

It's such a culture shock

Fish out of water

My stomach's tied in knots

Fish out of water

Fish out of water
