"Shampoo Me" by Randy Kaplan

I was just relaxing in the tub
When things got pretty strange
I heard a sound like “bubleeblub-blub”
And something was coming out of the drain
I said, Hark! Who goes there?
Well I cleared away some bubbles
And I thought, Man I’m in trouble
It was a shark, a hammerhead

And he said, Shampoo me…

Well I didn’t want to get my hand anywhere near a shark’s face
Because I heard a shark has sharp teeth and he could bite your hand right off
So I started to come up with excuses to get myself out of the situation

And I said, But you’re already clean
From swimming in the sea
He said, Man, have you even seen
How dirty the ocean is lately?
Then I said, But you got no hair
And he said, Neither do you
But in the corner over there
There’s a big bottle of shampoo
I said, Why can’t you shampoo yourself?
He said I got no fingers only fins
They’re second-stringers
And that’s why there’s a favor you’re gonna do me…

Shampoo me…

So if you’re ever relaxing in your tub
And things turn pretty strange
If you hear some sound like “blubbedyblubblub”
And you feel something comin’ out of your drain
Just say, Hark! Who goes there?
And if you clear away some bubbles
Don’t worry you’re not in trouble
if it’s a shark, a hammerhead
Just do what he says if he says
