[Verse 1: Les Claypool]

I'm a dog, a dirty flying dog

I drink Campari with marinated wild hog

I've no sense, I lick electric fence

I put barbed wire in my pants and do a Celtic dance

But when I can, I am a givin' man

I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the pan


[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool]

And if you're down lookin' like you're gonna drown

Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around


[Chorus: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]

I'm a drownin' man

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who’ll save this dirty drownin' man? (Ohhh)


[Verse 2: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]

You're so fine (You’re so fine), so bright and shiny fine

And I'm so proud to say that you in fact are a friend of mine

And doubly pleased (Doubly pleased) with crooked and wobbly knees

I dive on in and backstroke right across these seas of cheese

But on the times when I'm not such a giving man

Please flip me out the fire and back up into the pan


[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool]

And if you're down lookin' like you’re gonna drown

Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around


[Chorus: Les Claypool]

I'm a drownin' man

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who’ll save this dirty drownin' man?


[Bridge: Martina Topley-Bird]

Ohhh-ooh-ooh

Ohhh, ohh, ohhh-ooh


[Verse 1: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]

I'm a dog (I’m a dog), a dirty flying dog

I drink Campari with marinated wild hog

I've no sense (I’ve no sense), I lick electric fence

I put barbed wire in my pants and do a Celtic dance

But when I can, I am a givin' man

I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the pan


[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool]

And if you're down lookin' like you're gonna drown

Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around


[Chorus: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]

I'm a drownin' man

(Who will save this drowning man?)

Who will save this drownin' man?

(Who will save this drowning man?)

Who will save this drownin' man?

(Who will save this drowning man?)

Who’ll save this dirty drownin' man?


[Bridge: Martina Topley-Bird]

Ohhh, ohhhh

Ohhh, ohhhh

Ohhh, ohhhh

Ohhh, ohhhh

Ohhh, ohhhh

Ohhh, ohhhh


[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]

(Ohhh, ohhhh) And if you're down lookin' like you're gonna drown

Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around


[Chorus: Les Claypool]

I'm a drownin' man

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who will save this drownin’ man?

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who will save this drownin' man?

Who will save this drownin' man?


[Outro: Les Claypool]

Who will save this drownin' man?
