The Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance (Edit) lyrics

Hello boys and girls
My name is Fat Lip
And this is my friend
Sammy the Salmon

Today we're gonna teach you some fun facts about salmon
And a brand new dance

Let me introduce to you a brand new dance
I know you gonna love it if you give it one chance
It's not complicated, it's not too hard
You don't even have to be a hip hop star

See anyone can do it, All you need is style
Listen up, I'm gonna show you how
Put your hands to the side, and silly as it seems
Shake your body like a salmon floating up stream

I float up stream
You know how we do it
You know how we do it again

All my peeps spend part of their life in fresh water and part of their life in salt water
- Wow, very interesting
We change round a couple of days after spawning
Then we die

When I first did the salmon all the people just laughed
They looked around and stood like I was on crack
I heard somebody say out loud
"What the fuck is that? This nigger's dancing like a fish, while he's doing the snap"

But the more I kept doing it, the more they were feeling it
Then I heard some bitches say "that nigger's killing it"
By the end of the night, everyone was on my team
And the whole club was dancing like a salmon swimming up stream

I float up stream
You know how we do it
You know how we do it again

Most of our friends find their home waters by sense of smell
Which is even more keen than that of a dog or a bear
- Wow
My family also rely on ocean currents, tides, gravitational pull, the moon
- The moon? Fish pay attention to the moon?
- Wow, who knew?!

Did you know..
- What?
That I could go to Japan? And back
- You're kidding me? Amazing. Wow.

Hey, kids
Ey, Give it up for Sammy the Salmon
And his amazing salmon dance.
Hey, what ya say?
Who's hungry?
