[Verse 1]
Won't you gather round and hear a tale of the shark of Danville harbor
Who terrorized our people, can you just imagine this?
If it's sharks you want to know about, you're bound to end up smarter
'Cause though technically a vertebrate, they're cartilaginous

[Verse 2]
The monster came upon us and its eyes were black as coal
His jaws so big that we could see his molars and incisors
He came at us and of our bladders, we did lose control
Then he ate a politician and a curriculum advisor

[Verse 3]
He cornered us in Miller's Cove, we thought that we were dead
We've never seen his like, remember: This was way before TV
We lost control again, there were a long line for the head (Open up!)
But the woman folk banged pots and pans and drove him out to sea
Yes, the woman folk banged pots and pans and drove him out to sea
