She came down from Cincinnati 
It took her three days on the train 
Lookin' for some peace and quiet 
Hoped to see the sun again 

But now she lives down by the ocean 
She's takin' care to look for sharks 
They hang out in the local bars 
And they feed right after dark 

Chorus: 
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey 
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around 
You got fins to the left, fins to the right 
And you're the only bait in town 
Oh oh 
Oh oh 
You got fins to the left, fins to the right 
And you're the only girl in town 

She's saving up all of her money 
Wants to head it south in May 
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man 
Somewhere down Montserrat way 

But the money's good in the season 
Helps to lighten up her load 
Boys keep her high as the months go by 
She's getting postcards from the road 

Chorus: 
Can't you feel 'em closin' in, honey 
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around 
You got fins to the left, fins to the right 
And you're the only girl in town 

Sailed off to Antigua 
It took her three days on a boat 
Lookin' for some peace and quiet 
Maybe keep her dreams afloat 

But now she feels like a remora 
'Cause the school's still close at hand 
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth 
Of the sharks that can swim on the land 

Chorus: 
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey 
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around 
You got fins to the left, fins to the right 
And you're the only bait in town 
You got fins to the left, fins to the right 
And you're the only girl in town
