    From George Pope@1:153/757 to All on Mon Jul 11 15:22:28 2022
    I only just discovered this one yesterday, while listening to '70s songs that were dropped too early from radio playing cycles. . .

    Sing along:

    It was April the 41st
    Being a quadruple leap year
    I was driving through downtown Atlantis My Barracuda was in the shop, so
    I was in a rented Stingray
    And it was overheating
    So I pulled into a Shell station
    They said I'd blown a seal
    I said, "Fix the damn thing
    And leave my private life out of it Okay, pal?"
    While they were doing that
    I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar A real dive
    But I knew the owner
    He used to play for the Dolphins
    I said, "Hi, Gil!"
    You hafta yell, he's hard of herring Think I had a wet dream
    Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
    Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Wet dream
    Gil was also down on his luck
    Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water I gullied up to the sandbar He poured the usual
    Rusty snail, hold the grunion, shaken, not stirred With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side Heavy on the mako I slipped him a fin, on porpoise
    I was feeling good
    I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids For the halibut Well, the place was crowded
    We were packed in like sardines
    They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal What sole Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna Salmon Chanted Evening And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers Probably there to see the bass player One of them was this cute little yellowtail And she's giving me the eye
    So I figure, this is my chance for a little fun You know -- a piece of Pisces But she said things I just couldn't fathom She was too deep
    Seemed to be under a lot of pressure Boy, could she drink
    She drank like a... she drank a lot I said, "What's your sign?"
    She said, "Aquarium"
    I said, "Great! Let's get tanked."
    Think I had a wet dream
    Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
    Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Wet dream
    I invite her up to my place for a little midnight bait I say, "C'mon baby, it'll only take a few minnows" She threw me that same old line
    "Not tonight, I got a haddock"
    And she wasn't kiddin' either
    'Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
    I'd ever seen come down the pike
    He was covered with mussels
    He came over to me,
    He said, "Listen shrimp
    Don't you come trolling around here" What a crab
    This guy was steamed
    I could see the anchor in his eyes
    I turned to him
    I said, "Abalone! You're just being shellfish" Well, I knew there was going to be trouble And so did Gil
    'Cause he was already on the phone to the cods
    The haddock hits me with a sucker punch I catch him with a left hook
    He eels over
    It was a fluke
    But there he was, lying on the deck Flat as a mackerel
    Kelpless
    I said, "Forget the cods, Gil
    This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
    Well, the yellowtail was impressed
    With the way I landed her boyfriend She came over to me, she said
    "Hey big boy, you're really a game fish" "What's your name?"
    I said, "Marlin"
    Think I had a wet dream
    Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
    Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Wet dream
    Well from then on, we had a whale of a time I took her to dinner
    I took her to dance
    I bought her a bouquet of flounders And then I went home with her
    And what did I get for my trouble?
    A case of the clams
    Think I had a wet dream
    Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
    Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Wet dream
