The Creature from the Black Lagoon - Dave Edmunds

All he wanted was a lady

When at night he came up from the deep

He was feeling like any other lonely fella

Decided to take one while the city was asleep

The unsuspecting maiden

Was clutched from where she lay

And taken away to a home down under

The waters of the local bay

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a

Strange to see him back so soon

After his last intended did the dirty on him

Didn’t last five minutes in the swim

With the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a

Be seeing him again real soon

After this intended lets him down

Won’t last five minutes with him around

Only surfaced for a companion

'Cause of that he’s never been seen

Just a big look written in the eyes of his baby

And a cry of terror, a honeymoon scream

The unsuspecting maiden

Will be clutched from where she sleeps

And taken away to a home down under

The water and that’s for keeps

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a

Strange to see him back so soon

After his last intended did the dirty on him

Didn’t last five minutes in the swim

The unsuspecting maiden

Will be clutched from where she sleeps

And taken away to a home down under

The water and that’s for keeps

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a

Strange to see him back so soon

After his last intended did the dirty on him

Didn’t last five minutes in the swim

With the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a

Be seeing him again real soon

After this intended lets him down

Won’t last five minutes with him around

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a

Strange to see him back so soon

After his last intended did the dirty on him

Didn’t last five minutes in the swim

With the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a

Be seeing him again real soon

After this intended lets him down
