The Salmon Dance

Hello boys and girls, my name is Fatlip
And this is my friend, Sammy the Salmon ****(What it do?) ***
Today we’re gonna teach you some fun 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 please gang, I’m a show you how
Put ya hands to the side as silly as it seems
And shake your body lika Salmon floating upstream
I’m floating Upstream
You know how we do it, you how we do it,
again
(Sammy the Salmon)
All my peeps spend part of their life in fresh water and part of their lives in
salt water.
(Fatlip)
Wow, very interesting
They change 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 outloud what the fuck is that
This nigga’s dancing like a fish while he’s doing the snap
But the more I kept doing it, the more they be feeling it
And then I heard some bitches say yo that nigga’s killing
By the end of the night, everyone was on my team and the whole club was dancing
lika salmon floating upstream
I’m floating Upstream
You know how we do it, you how we do it,
again
(Sammy the Salmon
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
(Fatlip)
Wow
(Sammy the Salmon)
My family also rely on ocean currents, tides (uh) the gravitational pull of the
moon
(Fatlib)
The moon?
Fish pay attention to the moon?
Wow (I'm floating upstream again) Who
knew?
(Sammy the Salmon)
Did you know…
(Fatlip)
What?
(Sammy the Salmon)
That I can go to Japan and back
(Fatlip)
You’re kidding.
Amazing.
Gezz.
(Sammy the Salmon)
Polluted water can kill both baby salmon that are developing and the adult
salmon that are on their way to spawn."
(Fatlip)
Wow, what a shame.
What a shame.
Huh.
Wow
Hey, kids, give it up for Sammy the Salmon
and his amazing salmon dance.
Huh, what ya say?
Alright.
Who’s hungry?
