One fish's life is at end
Time to raise my eyebrow again
I can get swimmin' back up the river
Headin' back to your birthplace
But maybe there's a better way
For all of those eggs to get delivered

Salmon are nuts, why not just (ah-ah) all live in the sea (ah-ah-ah)?
Or maybe stay there in that lake (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)?
All of this fishy climbin' (ah-ah) makes no sense to me (ah-ah-ah)
I guess to them, it's not that hard (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)

It's a regular event
Which is not pretty for them
To deal with eagles, bears and sport fishers
"I'm tryna breed and then up and die
Eat me then, you impatient shites!"
That's what they'd think if they were thinkers

Salmon are nuts, spit in the (ah-ah) face of gravity (ah-ah-ah)
To fart out eggs and pass away (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
So to answer you, I would (ah-ah) love a plateful, please (ah-ah-ah)
Apologies, I'm kinda starved (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
And my brain really sidetracks hard

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah (oh-oh-oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
