[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]
CN.C.
Down!
Fmfrom the sky, go run and hide
CFrom their catastrophic path
FmBig teeth in jaws, That’s what we saw
CAnd now they’ve chomped my car in half
[Bridge]
FmThey fly in the sky
They look tAbotally crazy
Their wings are Fmsuperimposed
What kind of Abgod is so lazy?
FmHow can we hide?
How Abcan we survive
CFlying cartilaginous genocide?
[Chorus]
N.C. Fm
So be wary of the Sky Sharks
They want to nom on Cyour blood
If you want to have a Bbmfuture
Heed my warning or you'll lGbose iCt
N.C. Fm
And please avoid their dreaded eye ray
Run and hide and fight aCnother day
Practice cardio, incBbmrease your pace
Preserve your huGbman raCce
[Post-Chorus]
CLets run Fmaway
Yes, lBbmets run awFmay
The GbSky Sharks are here to Cstay
[Verse 1]
N.C. Fm
Now they’re eating all our fried fish
And all the seafood that no Cone will miss
Hundreds of grandparents Bbmmourn the loss
Of every Long John Silver Gbtartar Csauce
[Verse 2]
N.C. Fm
We tried to stop them but they’re too quick
Dodged every whiffle ball and Cwooden stick
Well what else can we Bbmthrow their way
How ‘bout that copy of 50 GbShades of CGrey?
N.C.
[Post-Verse]
GmI wish Athere was a Dmformula
Of Gmextra-special Athings to Edrive them Aaway.
But Gminstead we'll Aneed some lDmegs
So Bbgrab your sneakers and Eflee the Afray
[Professor Elemental's Rap]
(Bass: F Eb D-C-Bb-Ab)
FmA reign of terror flying past
FmWhen I first heard I had quite a laugh
EbLook up in the sky, flying shark
DTeeth like knives that bite in half
FmThings get weird. I take up the slack
FmI’m the man for the job or I’ll eat my hat
EbLaser-guided orcas live without water
DFitted with wings, engines, mortars
FmOld-fashioned grit and I fire like this
Fm“Let me try” -oh I insist!
EbAim, fire, strike with a tiny risk-
DOh blimey, spoke too soon- I missed
FmShark repellent is ineffective
FmLondon's done for, chums, I’ve wrecked it
EbSharks are landing, grey and vicious
DN.C.
On the other hand, this hat tastes delicious
[Bridge]
(Rabbit)
Well, we’ve Fmtried everything, what else can Abwe do?
(Hatchworth)
I Fmhear there’s still safe houses left in AbOld Peru...
(The Spine)
FmPlease heed our warning, these sAbharks will never tire
(Hatchworth)
CWait a second, hold on, did anyone think about
using… C7fire?
(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?
Yes, we do have an antidote, and it's C7fire!
[Chorus]
N.C. Fm
So be wary of the Sky Sharks
They want to nom on Cyour blood
If you want to have a Bbmfuture
