The Ol Diamondback Sturgeon Lyrics - Primus

The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin' along 

Minding his business one day 

Rooting and sniffing and urging to spawn 

In the mud flats of San Pablo Bay 

A scent came around so he followed his snout 

He found what was to his surprise 

A golden morsel, a tidbit, a tight bunch of grass shrimp 

Was there right before this buck's eyes 

He circle round twice and he took a big whiff 

Then sucked up this savory meal 

Then came a jolt and to the diamondback's surprise 

Through his lips cut the cold, barbed steel 

In a panic the old diamondback sped to the north 

He sped to the east, west and south 

But the harder he swam, he still could not break free 

From the tugging that pulled at his mouth
