[edit] Lyrics

I got no reason to be paranoid. 
What’s on the hook that’s what I avoid? 
I was born underwater without a sound,
With my friends in the drink and the sea on the ground.
You better swim,
Baby, you better swim,
You better swim like a tiger shark,
Or I’m gonna do you in.
I’m sorry when I’m told that I’m black and I’m white.
Sometimes I’ll be wrong, sometimes I’ll be right.
I’m higher than a seal, and I’m bad to the bone.
You go looking for trouble, but you come alone. 
You better swim,
Baby, you better swim,
You better swim like a tiger shark, 
Or I’m gonna do you in .
Come on spongey! 
I see them come, and I see them go.
I see big things and big people that nobody knows. 
I’m talking at pictures and I’m paintin 'em black.
I’m telling you, fish-face, you ain’t never coming back.
You better swim,
Baby, you better swim,
You better swim like a tigershark,
Or I’m gonna do you in.
Yeah!
