Klamath River Lamprey

from Ensonglopedia of Animals by John Hinton

/

lyrics

In Northern Californ-i-ay,
The redwood forests
Are popular with tourists,
But not one of them is here today
To see the Klamath River lamprey.

It’s goin’ surfin’,
Surfin’ on a bigger fish,
Oh yeah!
The lamprey’s greatest wish
Is to surf on a fish
That will serve as a delicious and nutritious dish.

If you’re goin’ fishin’,
You better start a-wishin’
For an extra-special two for one –
The Klamath River
Will deliver
A fish with another fish on.

Admit it:
Yeah, life’s terrific
When you’re livin’ it lawless
As a sucker-mouthed jawless
Surfer with a lifestyle parasitic.

Surfin’
Surfin’ on a bigger fish,
Woah yeah!
The lamprey’s greatest wish
Is to surf on a fish
That will serve as a delicious and nutritious dish.
