[Primus - The Ol' Diamondback Sturgeon Fisherman Chronicles, Pt. 3 lyrics]
The old diamondback sturgeon
Came swimmin' along
Minding his business one day
Rooting and sniffing and urging to spawn
In the mud flats of San Pablo Bay
A scent came around
And he followed his snout
He found what was, to his surprise
A golden morsel, a tidbit
A tight bunch of grass shrimp
Was there right before this buck's eyes
He circled round twice and he
Took a big whiff
And sucked up this savory meal
Then came a jolt and
To the diamondback's surprise
Through his lips cut the cold, barbed steel
In a panic the old diamondback
Sped to the north
He sped to the east, west and south
But the harder he swam
He still could not break free
From the "tugging" that pulled at his mouth
The old diamondback sturgeon
Came swimmin' along
Minding his business one day
Came swimmin' along
Minding his business one day
Rooting and sniffing and urging to spawn
In the mud flats of San Pablo Bay
A scent came around
And he followed his snout
He found what was, to his surprise
A golden morsel, a tidbit
A tight bunch of grass shrimp
Was there right before this buck's eyes
He circled round twice and he
Took a big whiff
And sucked up this savory meal
Then came a jolt and
To the diamondback's surprise
Through his lips cut the cold, barbed steel
In a panic the old diamondback
Sped to the north
He sped to the east, west and south
But the harder he swam
He still could not break free
From the "tugging" that pulled at his mouth
The old diamondback sturgeon
Came swimmin' along
Minding his business one day
