My Barracuda - Jimmy Buffett

Well I saw this couple

Just the other day

Livin' under a bridge

In a homeless way

Like a million others

Without any plan

Livin' day to day

In the promised land

In this unforgivin' world there ain’t no doubt

It’ll chew you up and it’ll spit you out

She calls him barracuda

My barracuda

She used to work in the circus

A real high-wire act

He was a lion tamer

Up until the attack

He came without instructions then he came unglued

And now he’s just a monster in a human suit

She calls him barracuda

My barracuda

She still can’t figure out what she’s doin' down there

And she don’t know if he loves her or not

He may be a barracuda

But he’s the only lover she’s got (oh-oooo)

Barracuda

(guitar solo)

She still can’t figure out what she’s doin' down there

And she don’t know if he loves her or not

He may be a barracuda

But he’s the only lover she’s got (oh-oooo)

Barracuda, yeah

My barracuda

Not too many fish in the sea (barracuda)

Just my barracuda and me (my barracuda)

Swimmin' around (barracuda)

Check out the town (my barracuda)

He’s such a barracuda, ooh, yeah (barracuda, yeah)
