lyrics

Why can’t a guy like me have a best friend
Everybody has one, what about me
Creepin’ and a crawlin’ on the bottom of the reef
Critters are afraid of me
I’m Just Misunderstood

I like to glide in the ocean
I like to ride a wave or two
My dorsal fin looks scary
And that’s just what I do

Nalu – Scat

Critters are afraid of me
I’m Just Misunderstood

Tangled in a fishing net
Tugging at my fins
I’m just a grouchy guy trying to get free
Once I tried to bite my way out of a net
Then I broke my big front tooth
On a piece of lead, Och it hurts

I like to glide in the ocean
I like to ride a wave or two
My dorsal fin looks scary
And that’s just what I do (not cool)

Nalu – Scat

Critters are afraid of me
(everyone’s afraid of him)
I’m Just Misunderstood

Whistle & Ukulele solo

Nalu – Scat

Critters are afraid of me
(everyone’s afraid of him)
I’m Just Misunderstood
