Hello boys and girls ! My name is FatLip
And this is my friend Sammy the Salmon

''1 - 2''

Today, we're going to teach you some fun facts about Salmon
And a brand new dance.

Let me introduce to you a brand new dance
I know you're gonna love it if you give it one chance
It's not complicated, it's not too hard
You don't even have to be a hip hop star

See anyone can do it, all you need is style
Listen up peep gang I'm a show you how
Put your hands to the side, as silly as the seems
And shake your body like a salmon floatin' up stream !

I'll float up stream
You know how we do it
You know how we do it
Again

All my peeps spend part of their life in fresh water
And part of their life in salt water

Wow, very interesting !

We change round a couple of days after spawning
Then we die

When I first did the Salmon all the people just laughed
They looked around and stood like I was on crack
I heard somebody say out loud "What the fuck is that ?"
This nigga's dancin like a fish while he's doin' the snap

But the more I kept doing it the more they kept feelin' it
And then I heard some bitches say "Yo that niggas killin' it"
By the end of the night everyone was on my team
And the whole club was dancing like a salmon floatin' up stream!

I'll float up stream
You know how we do it
You know how we do it
Again

Most of our friends find their home waters by their sense of smell
Which is even more keen than that of a dog or a bear

Wow !

My family also rely on ocean currents, tides
The gravitational pull of the moon

I'll float up stream, again

The moon ? Fish pay attention to the moon ? Wow !

Did you know?

What?

That I could go to Japan, and back.

You're kidding me. Amazing. Jeez.

Polluted water can kill both baby salmon
That are developing
And the adult salmon
That are on their way to spawn.

Wow what a shame, what a shame !
Huh ? Wow ! Wow !
Hey kids, hey give it up for Sammy the Salmon
And his amazing salmon dance.
Huh ? What he said ?
Who's Hungry ?
