The Dolphin (Dolphins' Song) versuri

Versuri Steve Ross – The Dolphin (Dolphins' Song) lyrics

Some people mate to reduce anxiety.
Some people mate to inflate their id.
Starlets will mate for the notoriety.
Harlots will mate for eleven quid.
Byron would mate
Just to shock society,
Henry the Eight
Just to mock the church.
Catherine the Great
Had a great variety.
Kinsey could mate
For research.

But not the dolphin!
No, not the dolphin!
Look at the dolphin!
Dolphins do it for fun!

Oh, yes, the dolphins do it for the sheer euphoria;
Dolphins do it for the mere delight.
Like Prince Albert and the young Victoria,
They have at it day and night.

Oh, yes, the dolphins do it for the simple joie de vivre.
When they mate, they’re in a state of bliss —
Oh, so happy just to give and to receive…
Why can’t people be like this?

Some people mate for a rise in salaries,
Some for a tip on the Ascot Stakes.
Stout people mate just to burn up calories!
Poor people mate when the telly breaks.
Some people mate when the vicar tells them to —
Witness the downfall of Hester Prynne!
Some say they must, for a force compels them to —
Witness the late Errol Flynn!

But not the dolphin!
No, not the dolphin!
Look at the dolphin!
Dolphins do it for fun!

Oh, yes, the dolphins do it for the sheer euphoria;
Dolphins do it for the mere delight.
Like Prince Albert and the young Victoria,
They have at it day and night.

Oh, yes, the dolphins do it for the simple joie de vivre.
When they mate, they’re in a state of bliss —
Oh, so happy just to give and to receive…
Why can’t people be like this?

Dolphins try to do it with a dinghy,
With a buoy or a rubber raft.
I am told they fornicate with Frisbees,
Which is absolutely daft!

They will try it with a live torpedo
Or a Fiji island war canoe…
And, if you go swimming with a dolphin,
He may try to mate with you!
He can’t help it;
You look so fetching!
He feels so friendly,
Doesn’t know it isn’t done;
Dolphins do it just for fun!
