Swimming on Your Back
Transcript
Oh sea otter, swimming on your back Oh sea otter, you really know how to relax
The water’s cold along the coast, but your fur coat keeps you warm as toast Oh sea otter, swimming on your back
Born to swim in the ocean, you were born to splash and play Oh baby sea otter, stay with your mama all day
She’ll feed you and she’ll take good care, she’ll even wash and dry your hair Baby sea otter, stay with your mama all day
Oh sea otter, swimming on your back Oh sea otter, you really know how to relax
The water’s cold along the coast, but your fur coat keeps you warm as toast Oh sea otter, swimming on your back
Little sea otter, eating all day long Clams and mussels, abalone, the list goes on and on
You eat until your belly’s full, then you lay back in your great big pool Little sea otter, eating all day long
Oh sea otter your home is in the waves Diving rolling, doing the backstroke splashing all day Oh sea otter, the tide rolls out and in And you just lay there floating along with your great big otter grin
Oh sea otter, swimming on your back Oh sea otter, you really know how to relax
The water’s cold along the coast, but your fur coat keeps you warm as toast Oh sea otter, swimming on your back
Little sea otter, how big and strong you’ve grown Now it’s time to leave your mama and strike out on your own
You dive beneath the ocean swell because your mama taught you oh so well Little sea otter, how big and strong you’ve grown
Oh sea otter, swimming on your back Oh sea otter, you really know how to relax
The water’s cold along the coast, but your fur coat keeps you warm as toast Oh sea otter, swimming on your back
The water’s cold along the coast, but your fur coat keeps you warm as toast Oh sea otter, swimming on your back
