The Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance lyrics

Hello, boys and girls, my name is Fatlip
And this is my friend, Sammy the Salmon
(What it do?)
Today, we're gonna teach you some
Fun facts about salmon and a brand new dance

Let me introduce to you a brand new dance
I know you're gonna love it if
You give it one chance
It's not complicated, it's not too hard
You don't even have to be a Hip-Hop star
See anyone can do it, all you need is style
Listen up, peep game, I'ma show you how
Put your hands to the side
As silly as it seems
And shake your body like a
Salmon floating up stream

I'll float up stream (You know how we do it
You know how we do it) again

All my peeps spend part of
Their life in freshwater
And part of their life in saltwater
Wow, very interesting
We change 'round a couple
Of days after spawning, then we die

When I first did the salmon
All the people just laughed
They looked around and stood like
I was on crack
I heard somebody say out loud
"What the fuck is that?
This nigga's dancing like a fish
While he's doing The Snap"
But the more I kept doing it
The more they were feeling it
And then I heard some bitches say, "Yo
That nigga's killing it"
By the end of the night
Everyone was on my team
And the whole club was dancing like
A salmon floating up stream

I'll float up stream (You know how we do it
You know how we do it) again

Most of our friends find their home
Waters by sense of smell
Which is even more keen than that
Of a dog or a bear wow!
My family also rely on ocean currents, tides
(Uh, huh) gravitational pull of the moon
(I'll float up stream)
The moon? Fish pay attention to the moon?!
Wow! Who knew? (Again) did you know
What? That I could go to Japan and back?
You're kidding me! Amazing geez
Polluted water can kill both baby
Salmon that are developing
And the adult salmon that are
On their way to spawn
Wow, what a shame, what a shame huh? Whoa!
Wow, hey kids
Hey give it up for Sammy the Salmon
And his amazing Salmon Dance
Huh, what do you say? Alright who's hungry?
