[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
So, this ain't the end, I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smile like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails
[Chorus]
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you wanna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, Barracuda?
Oh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2]
Back over time, we were all trying for free
You met the porpoise and me, uh-huh
No right, no wrong, selling a song, a name
Whisper game
[Chorus]
And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ooh, Barracuda
Oh, yeah
[Bridge]
"Sell me, sell you," the porpoise said
Dive down deep now to save my head
You... I think that you got the blues, too
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
We made for the Western pools
Silly, silly fools!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
The real thing don't do the trick
No? You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Oh, Barra-Barracuda
Yeah
[Outro]
Ooh, hey
