[Bridge]
F
At first he thought it was the undertow

D
But he was dragged to the bottom of the lake

F
By a couple of kids saying, "it's a joke"

D
Though he didn't know any of their names

F
As they held him down, the crowd got loud

D
And they cheered when they thought he had escaped

F
When the anchor needed something for the 10 o'clock

D
What could they say? Oh what else could they say?

G                                           C
