Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I left the house, left the room with the foxy on my back
And my supplies in a magic pack
And I followed the sound of music
Not up a hill, but down to an old wharf shack
[Verse 2]
Inside I heard the trumpets call
I salute to the champions on the wall
And in the jazz of squalls and impassioned brawls
She danced
[Verse 3]
Oh and that night, she looked so fine to me
Oh, I am a man on an odyssey
And so, tie me to the mast, I must believe
[Verse 4]
Oh, wow, di-di-di-di, I just had to look
I said, oh, wow, di-di-di-di, how those hips, they shook
They're singing, eye patch, tongue ring, little black book
I welcome fishies to my hook
[Verse 5]
And they tiny chefs, they waved their giant knives
And the dark goumas, they flick dynamite
And still, I kept the sight of my desire
[Verse 6]
Well, there's one thing sure, I don't make no apologies
The lights dim but she shone like mythology
I must admit, she felt so alive
[Verse 7]
Oh, wow, di-di-di-di, I just had to look
I said, oh, wow, di-di-di-di, how those hips, they shook
They're singing, eye patch, tongue ring, little black book
I welcome fishies to my hook
[Verse 8]
She waits for everybody down on the floor
As if to pray to the gods of the festival
And there we were, in the depths of the wild below
[Verse 9]
Her face so close, I could taste the distant shores
She whispered, wait for the trumpet's calls
Not exactly love, it's to adore
[Verse 10]
Oh, wow, di-di-di-di, I just had to look
They're singing, oh, wow, di-di-di-di, how those hips, they shook
They're singing, eye patch, tongue ring, little black book
Oh, oh
I welcome fishies to my hook
