Ⅰ’d get the busk outta the water!

Unfortunately it only knows the JAWS theme.

Uke couldn’t make that up.

LOL!!

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear, And it shows them pearly white, Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe, And he keeps it, ah, out of sight – ‘Mack the Knife’

Give it some loose change!

Give him some chum.

He will not eat you if you tip him.

Problem is, he only knows two chords…..Da….Dun…Da…Dun..Da..Dun.DaDunDaDunDaDun

♪…..baby shark do do do do do……..♫

This musical shark reminded me of Frank Zappa’s The Mud Shark, from the album The Mothers of Invention Live at the Fillmore East.

Sometheeng fishy here.

He’ll put the bite on you if you don’t give him a tip

Drop a few quarters in his guitar case.

But she’s singing:

Oh-oh, here she comes

Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up

Oh-oh, here she comes

She’s a man-eater

And he will be “Busking” you for dinner!

Don’t fret. The shark will take care of the frets.

Just kill it. Seriously, you’d be cleaning up the ocean.

Is he basking in the attention while busking?

How come he gets to be the knife, all the time ????

ha! If you don’t have a little spare change to spare, you could be in trouble.

Here’s “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” by Great White.

He just wants you to be his chum!

Candygram!!(If you’ve seen REALLY old school SNL you’ll get that!)

Playing for (finger)tips?

Suddenly, you’re not half the man you used to be.

But tip well.
