[C320-list] Jellyfish--a word from the sailing guru Mr. Buffet

[Adam Weiner]

I'd Like To Be A Jelly Fish
Cause Jelly Fish Don't Pay Rent
They Don't Walk, They Don't Talk
With Some Euro-Trash Accents

They're Just Simple Protoplasm
Clear As Cellophane
They Ride The Winds Of Fortune
Life Without A Brain

In One Ear And Out The Other
Don't You Get Criss-Crossed
I Recommend You Try A Little...
Mental Floss

It's The Small Small Problems
That Keep Me So Upset

And Send Me Seeking Shelter
Beneath My Mosquito Net
I Stay There For Hours
Protected From The Nights
All Those Insects And Vipers
Other Things That Bite

In One Ear And Out The Other
Don't You Get Criss-Crossed
I Recommend You Try A Little...
Mental Floss

I'd Like To Be A Jelly Fish
Because Jelly Fish Don't Pay Rent

Mental Floss

It's In One Ear And Out The Other
Don't You Get Criss-Crossed
I Recommend You Try A Little...
Mental Floss

Yea, Don't Forget To Floss Every Day!

Mental!

I was stationed at PAX River, MD and thought they grew all the 
jellyfish for the whole world. You couldn't even get a worm in the 
water without them eating it, but you sure get good at water sking 
with long pants and long sleeve shirt.
