mr. bass lies waiting in his kelpy room waiting,
til comes doom he comes and then he goes
he sees orca and then he knows i can see mr. bass,
he's on my wall i can taste mr. bass,
he's on my wall i can smell mr. bass
tomorrow we finished the island with a broken motor
they were biting at alarming rate mr. bass, he was irate

[Chorus]
mr. bass takes a beating
billy boy must keep eating
old pat he must be burning
look's like his stomach's turning

he feeds on the centipedes
he lies behind in a greenish hue
he'll eat whatever, he'll even eat you mr. bass,
he knows my hook 'cause i've been reading them bassin' books

[Chorus]
mr. bass takes a beating
billy boy must keep eating
old pat he must be burning
look's like his stomach's turning
