The Great White Shark Song (Canção do Grande Tubarão Branco)
A música começa com a seguinte frase:
“Se eu fosse um grande tubarão-branco, eu não iria mordê-lo, mas nadaria bem próximo de você”. E diz ainda:
“A percepção das pessoas sobre os tubarões é baseada no que você vê em filmes e na televisão. Mas essa não é realidade. Eles são majestosos. São lindos e quietos”.
Cineasta, Compositor e Tubarão Junky: Andy Brandy Casagrande IV (ABC4)

Letra
Intro
if you find yourself nose-to-nose
with a great white man-eating shark
the thing to do is to leave the water quietly
just as if your only thought was
to rub in more suntan lotion.
if I was a great white shark,
I wouldn’t bite you

Música
if I was a great white
I wouldn’t bite you
but I swim right next to you
if I was a great white
I wouldn’t bite you,
but I swim right next to you
and ask you
how you do?
then you look at me
and pull out a harpoon
and try to shoot me
then I realize
how kind of really
hungry I am right now
sorry about your leg
I’ll be back in a while
pull the rest
don’t stress
my sister will be back
to clean up this mess
relax, kick back
it’s only a great white shark attack
ruff
if I was a great white, I wouldn’t bite you
but I swim right next to you
if I was a great white, I wouldn’t bite you
but I swim right next to you
cause sharks like surfing too
you paddle out chasing the fat sets
and pushing the sunset
then I realized
I’ve never seen a seal so fat and low
sorry about your arm
I just didn’t know
think fast, swim back
you still look like the seal
your wetsuit is so black and red
great white sharks died 4.000 feet
swim across the world
damn isn’t that deep
forty million years
and they haven’t changed
apex predator
survivals the game
ambush now is how they hunt
seven rows of teeth
Lorenzini in the front
Oh, I love the great white shark
their bellies are white and the rest is dark
and if I might just happen to be
a great white shark named ABC
oh, you know I wouldn’t fight you
know
if I was a great white, I wouldn’t bite you
but I swim right next to you
if I was a great white, I wouldn’t bite you,
but I swim right next to you
Cause it’s my ocean, too
so please keep it clean
as I can be wicked me
and I got sharp teeth
and if I realize that
you don’t care about the sea
well, that means you don’t care about me
oh well, that’s fine
I’ll just rip you
and bloody half this time you
if I was a great white
if I was a great white
shark rock
