Fatlip - The Salmon Dance Lyrics

Hello boys and girls, my name is FatLip
and this is my friend Sammy the Salmon
What 'do?
Today, we're going to teach you
some fun new facts about salmon
and a brand new dance

Let me introduce to you a brand new dance
I know you're gonna love it if you give it one chance
It's not complicated, it's not too hard
You don't even have to be a hip hop star
See anyone can do it, all you need is style
Listen up peep gang, I'ma show you how
Put your hands to the side, as silly as it seems
And shake your body like a salmon floatin' up stream!

I'll float up stream
You know how we do it, you know how we do it
Again

All my peeps spend part of their life in fresh water
and part of their life in salt water
Wow, very interesting
We change round a couple of days after spawning
Then we die

When I first did the Salmon, all the people just laughed
They looked around and stood like I was on crack
I heard somebody say out loud "what the fuck is that? "
"This nigga's dancin like a fish while he's doin' the snap"
But the more I kept doing it the more they were feelin' it
and then I heard some bitches say "yo that niggas killin' it"
By the end of the night, everyone was on my team
and the whole club was dancing like a salmon floatin' up stream!

I'll float up stream
You know how we do it, you know how we do it
Again

Most of our friends find their home waters by sense of smell
Which is even more keen than that of a dog or a bear
Wow
My family also rely on ocean currents, tides
The gravitational pull of the moon
I'm floatin' upstream again
The moon? Fish pay attention to the moon? Wow. Who knew?
Did you know?
What?
That I could go to Japan, and back
You're kidding me. Amazing. Jeez
Polluted water can kill both baby salmon, that are developing
And the adult salmon, that are on their way to spawn
Wow what a shame, what a shame
Huh?
Woah
Wow. Hey s-kids, hey give it up
for s-Sammy the Salmon and his amazing salmon dance
Huh? Whadda ya say?
Who's hungry?
