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" |
