The Creature from the Black Lagoon Songtext

von Dave Edmunds

All he wanted was a lady
When at night he came up from the deep
He was feeling like any other lonely fella
Decided to take one while the city was asleep

The unsuspecting maiden
Was clutched from where she lay
And taken away to a home down under
The waters of the local bay

By the creature from the Black Lagoon
Strange to see him back so soon
After his last intended did the dirty on him
Didn't last five minutes in the swim

With the creature from the Black Lagoon
Be seeing him again real soon
After this intended lets him down
Won't last five minutes with him around

Only surfaced for a companion
Cause of that he's never been seen
Just a big look written in the eyes of his baby
And a cry of terror, a honeymoon scream

The unsuspecting maiden
Will be clutched from where she sleeps
And taken away to a home down under the water
And that's for keeps

By the creature from the Black Lagoon
Strange to see him back so soon
After his last intended did the dirty on him
Didn't last five minutes in the swim

The unsuspecting maiden
Will be clutched from where she sleeps
And taken away to a home down under the water
And that's for keeps

By the creature from the Black Lagoon
Strange to see him back so soon
After his last intended did the dirty on him
Didn't last five minutes in the swim

With the creature from the Black Lagoon
Be seeing him again real soon
After this intended lets him down
Won't last five minutes with him around

By the creature from the Black Lagoon
Strange to see him back so soon
After his last intended did the dirty on him
Didn't last five minutes in the swim

With the creature from the Black Lagoon
Be seeing him again real soon
After this intended lets him down
Won't last five minutes with him around
