Flamboyant Cuttlefish

from Ensonglopedia of Animals by John Hinton

/

lyrics

Get a load ‘a
This cephalopoda,

It’s the cleverest creature
Who’s ever gonna meet ya.

And it’s about to treat ya
To a very special feature.

Introducing the aptly named Flamboyant Cuttlefish!

You must be proud
To be endowed
With such a loud
Multicolour dreamcoat.

What a suit!
There’s no dispute
That you’re a beaut.
You’re like a disco dreamboat.

Aah, ooh, yeah, the shimmering, glimmering
Razzmatazz and dazzle
Of your colour-changing mantle
Will captivate and baffle
Like a hypnotist’s candle,

With waves of colour,
One replacing the other,
Spreading down from you neck,
And you’re a-lighting up the ocean floor like a discotheque.

You may be a cuttlefish,
But you are not a very subtle fish.
