Look here in the Cmwater, see the barracuda
Patient as the devil, hangin' Gstill
Like a shadow in the Cmwater, pretty barraFmcuda
Dagger of the Cmdevil, Gmwaitin' to Cmkill

He'll cut your Cmheart out, slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's Fmhungry, 'Gmcause he's Cmmean
(KEY CHANGE)

He'll cut your Dmheart out, slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's Gmhungry, 'Amcause he's Dmmean
