Lyrics Steam Powered Giraffe

Steam Powered Giraffe

Sky Sharks

Down from the sky

Go run and hide

From their catastrophic path

Big teeth in jaws, That’s what we saw

And now they’ve chomped my car in half

They fly in the sky

They look totally crazy

Their wings are superimposed

What kind of god is so lazy

How can we hide?

How can we survive

Flying Cartilaginous Genocide?

Be wary of the Sky Sharks

They want to nom on your blood

If you want to have a future

Heed my warning or you'll lose it

And please avoid their dreaded eye ray

Run and hide and fight another day

Practice cardio, increase your pace

Preserve your human race

Lets run away

Yes, lets run away

The Sky Sharks are here to stay

Now they’re eating all our fried fish

And all the seafood that no one will miss

Hundreds of grandparents mourn the loss

Of every Long John Silver tartar sauce

We tried to stop them but they’re too quick

Dodged every whiffle ball and wooden stick

Well what else can we throw their way

How ‘bout that copy of 50 Shades of Grey?

I wish there was a formula

Of extra-special things to drive them away.

But instead we'll need some legs

So grab your sneakers and flee the fray

Prof: A reign of terror flying past

When I first heard I had quite a laugh

Look up in the sky, flying shark

Teeth like knives that bite in half

Things get weird. I take up the slack

I’m the man for the job or I’ll eat my hat

Laser-guided orcas live without water

Fitted with wings, engines, mortars

Old-fashioned grit and I fire like this

“Let me try” -oh I insist!

Aim, fire, strike with a tiny risk-

Oh blimey, spoke too soon- I missed

Shark repellent is ineffective

London's done for chums, I’ve wrecked it

Sharks are landing, grey and vicious

On the other hand this hat tastes delicious

Rabbit: Well, we’ve tried everything, what else can we do?

Hatchworth: I hear there’s still safe houses left in Old Peru

Spine: Please heed our warning, these sharks will never tire

Hatchworth: Wait a second, hold on, did anyone think about using… fire?

Rabbit: Huh… fire.

Hey Hatchworth, hand me that stick over there

Professor, do you have a lighter?

Professor: Oh yes I’ve got one here, there you go

Rabbit: Thanks.

Back, back!

That’s a bad sky shark!

Back, back!

Oh my gosh, it’s working! Ah it’s working, guys!

They’re leaving! We’ve done it! We’ve done it!

Spread the word, guys, they don’t like fire!

Crier: They hate fire, spread the word!

So be wary of the Sky Sharks

They want to nom on your blood

If you want to have a future

Heed my warning or you'll lose it

Please avoid their dreaded eye ray

Run and hide and fight another day

Practice cardio, increase your pace

Let’s preserve the human race
