Verse 1
Electrophorus Electricus; I would like to sing you a song.
You¡¯re commonly called the electric eel, but you are not an eel at all.
(An eel at all.)
Verse 2
You come from South America, the fourth largest continent on earth.
You sometimes grow to 9-feet long and have a man¡¯s thigh in girth.
Chorus
Oh, Electrophorus Electricus; you are a beautiful glowing fish.
Oh, Electrophorus Electricus; to have one of you would be my wish.
Verse 3
You swim in freshwater and shock your prey to dine on them;
2 amps of current, 500 volts, 1000 watts, and they can¡¯t swim.
(You immobilize them.)
Verse 4
Your shock could stun a man or kill a horse; it is very strong.
You swim real slow, but who really cares? You¡¯ve got nothing to do all day long.
