She came down from Cincinna- ti

It took her three days on the train.

Lookin' for some peace and qui- et

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 lo- cal bars

And they feed right after dark

Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7

Can't you feel 'em cir-clin', honey? Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?

Bb C Bb C Bb C F

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 bait in town.

Additional lyrics:

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 her load

Boys keep her high as the months go by

She's getting postcards from the road.

(chorus)

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)
