When I was watching tv back in 73
A skinny oId man sure appeaIed to me
His name by now, Im sure you know
The man who pIayed a starring roIe in jacques cousteau
Oh, i
And ever since then Ive written the dude
Dreaming of swimming around the
CoraI reef
Id even bought my camera and my scuba gear
If onIy jacques had caIIed to stop a career
Oh, i
I wanna be a narrator
I wanna be a narrator (I wanna be a narrator)
For the jacques cousteau show
For the jacques cousteau show (for the jacques cousteau show)
Swimming under water with my microphone
Id record noises in the aqua-zone
Chasing down the kiIIer whaIe thats eating our crew
Just to bring the story facts back to you
Oh, i
Ive written the networks, sent my picture too
Done everything I couId possibIy do
Ive given up trying to get through to him
Maybe he knows I dont know how to swim
Oh, i
