| The old man Santiago didn't catch a fish for days
|
| He returned unhappy and was pretty damn ashamed
|
| He tells his grandson Manolin about this one last move
|
| Manolin thinks to himself, "this is grandpa's groove"
|
| So on the 85th day of his unlucky streak
|
| He caught a marlin, draggin' forth his boat down the stream
|
| Santiago's friends they caught the fish with his harpoon
|
| The marlin thought to himself, "this is grandpa's groove"
|
| Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba
|
| Ba-da-ba-da, bow, uhm
|
| Da-ba-da-buh-di-buh
|
| Yeah this is grandpa's groove
|
| Everyone they were screaming out
|
| "That was grandpa's groove"
|
| So on the 85th day of his unlucky streak
|
| He caught a marlin, draggin' forth his boat down the stream
|
| Santiago's friends they caught the fish with his harpoon
|
| The marlin thought to himself, "this is grandpa's groove"
|
| The marlin died a bloody death, along came many sharks
|
| They attacked the fisherman, but couldn't kill this spark
|
| When he came home with the skeleton of the marlin as his proof
|
| Everyone was screaming out, "this is grandpa's groove"
|
| Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba
|
| Ba-da-ba-da, bow
|
| Mmm da-ba-da-buh-di-buh
|
| Yeah this is grandpa's groove
|
| Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba
|
| Ba-da-ba-da, bow
|
| Mmm da-ba-da-buh-di-buh
|
| Yeah this is grandpa's groove
|
| Ooh la-la-la, la-lam-pi-dam
|
| Yeah grandpa got those moves
|
| And everyone were screaming out
|
| "This is grandpa's groove" |
