Mr. Bass Lyrics

He has run the water

Now 15 years

Ruling the structure

And ruling the piers

Beautiful and silent

As he tends his mighty shore

But now he's caught and

Released to heaven's door

See you on the flip slide, Mr. Bass

Though your passing makes me so damn mad

I will cry more for you than when John Lennon passed

Oh, I see you on the flip side Mr. Bass

Big and strong as a fish can come

Bad news for your laughs

Leans up against a stump all day

Like a superstar of Hollywood pass

He ain’t scared of nothin’

He killed an alligator with his fin

But a virus is what finally done him in

See you on the flip slide, Mr. Bass

Though your passing makes me so damn mad

I will cry more for you than when John Lennon passed

Oh, I see you on the flip side Mr. Bass

So, good-bye, Mr. Bass

May you rest in peace

Too bad that God

Don’t do catch and release

You’re goin’ to that great big

Live well in the sky

Filled with water that

Fell from Gods own eyes

See you on the flip slide, Mr. Bass

Though your passing makes me so damn mad

I will cry more for you than when John Lennon passed

Oh, I see you on the flip side Mr. Bass
