[Professor Elemental's Call]
Calling Steam Powered Giraffe... Calling Steam Powered Giraffe!
This is Professor Elemental on the emergency frequency.
We are being invaded by Sky Sharks. Repeat: London is being invaded by Sky Sharks!
It is only a matter of time before they get to my house!
Help us, Steam Powered Giraffe! You're our only hope!

[Intro]
C N.C. Down! Fm from the sky, go run and hide C From their catastrophic path Fm Big teeth in jaws, That’s what we saw C And now they’ve chomped my car in half
[Bridge]
Fm They fly in the sky Ab They look totally crazy Fm Their wings are superimposed Ab What kind of god is so lazy? Fm How can we hide? Ab How can we survive C Flying cartilaginous genocide?
[Chorus]
N.C. Fm So be wary of the Sky Sharks C They want to nom on your blood Bbm If you want to have a future Gb C Heed my warning or you'll lose it N.C. Fm And please avoid their dreaded eye ray C Run and hide and fight another day Bbm Practice cardio, increase your pace Gb C Preserve your human race
[Post-Chorus]
C Fm Lets run away Bbm Fm Yes, lets run away Gb C The Sky Sharks are here to stay
[Verse 1]
N.C. Fm Now they’re eating all our fried fish C And all the seafood that no one will miss Bbm Hundreds of grandparents mourn the loss Gb C Of every Long John Silver tartar sauce
[Verse 2]
N.C. Fm We tried to stop them but they’re too quick C Dodged every whiffle ball and wooden stick Bbm Well what else can we throw their way Gb C How ‘bout that copy of 50 Shades of Grey?
N.C.
[Post-Verse]
Gm A Dm I wish there was a formula Gm A E A Of extra-special things to drive them away. Gm A Dm But instead we'll need some legs Bb E A So grab your sneakers and flee the fray
[Professor Elemental's Rap]
(Bass: F Eb D-C-Bb-Ab)
Fm A reign of terror flying past Fm When I first heard I had quite a laugh Eb Look up in the sky, flying shark D Teeth like knives that bite in half Fm Things get weird. I take up the slack Fm I’m the man for the job or I’ll eat my hat Eb Laser-guided orcas live without water D Fitted with wings, engines, mortars Fm Old-fashioned grit and I fire like this Fm “Let me try” -oh I insist! Eb Aim, fire, strike with a tiny risk- D Oh blimey, spoke too soon- I missed Fm Shark repellent is ineffective Fm London's done for, chums, I’ve wrecked it Eb Sharks are landing, grey and vicious D N.C. On the other hand, this hat tastes delicious
[Bridge]
(Rabbit)
Fm Ab Well, we’ve tried everything, what else can we do?
(Hatchworth)
Fm Ab I hear there’s still safe houses left in Old Peru...
(The Spine)
Fm Ab Please heed our warning, these sharks will never tire
(Hatchworth)
C Wait a second, hold on, did anyone think about C7 using… fire?
(Rabbit, Spoken)
N.C.
Huh... fire...
Hey, Hatchworth. Hand me that stick over there.
Professor, do you have a lighter?
(oh yes, I've got one here. There you go. Heheh.)
Thanks
(Rabbit proceeds to light the Sky Sharks on fire.)
Back, back! That's a bad Sky Shark! Back, back!
Oh my gosh, it's w-working!
They're leaving! We've done it, we've done it!
Spread the word, guys. They don't like fire!
(Professor Elemental)
It worked! The fire worked!
That was my lighter, did that.
(Various Shouting)
Hey, you're never gonna believe this! They don't like fire!
Hey mama, it's fire, it kills them! Imagine that.
They don't like fire, spread the word! Tell the world!
Spread the word, spread the word!
(Elemental)
Quickly, we must tell the Queen at once.
(The Spine)
Hello, your Royal Majesty?
C7
Yes, we do have an antidote, and it's fire![Chorus]
N.C. Fm So be wary of the Sky Sharks C They want to nom on your blood Bbm If you want to have a future Gb C Heed my warning or you'll lose it Fm And please avoid their dreaded eye ray C Run and hide and fight another day Bbm Practice cardio, increase your pace Gb C Let's preserve the human race
[Outro]
(Rabbit, Spoken)
Fm Bbm Fm Gb And, in the end, it was the most humblest of God's creatures that stopped the sky sharks. Gb C Why, it was none other than fire. C Fm Bbm The word spread to the farthest reaches of earth, and humanity collectively burned down every f-forest Fm on the p-p-planet. Gb Gb The Sky Sharks left, and the world was safe again C C N.C. Free to smolder, in its charred, ashy ruin.
