Saw a baleen whale way over there so to get the picture clearer
We turned towards the blow and hit the gas and brought the ship much nearer
The right jaw was white we said, “alright it’s a fin you better believe ‘er”
and I took the shot and hit the spot and made that whale a bleeder
But the string just broke this ain’t no joke there’s no way we’re going to leave ‘er
‘Cause I’m a grapefruit chuckin, motherfuckin wayward bolt retriever
We headed back along the track to find our floating treasure
The value on the street of that little chunk of meat was far too large to measure
And when we saw the bolt we got a jolt because Jaws was trying to eat ‘er
The sample was there and it was not fair for some shark to try and steal ‘er
So I aimed at the shark and was on the mark with a throw like Derek Jeter
‘Cause I’m a grapefruit chuckin, motherfuckin wayward bolt retriever
Photos yes acoustics covered the rest bacon would make this sighting completer
All eyes looked for the prize but with darkening skies our chances were getting fleeter
C/o’s on the rail and without fail he steered the boat to meet ‘er
And down the side that bolt did glide our approach couldn’t be sweeter
Then I used a net barely got it wet and made the catch like a wide receiver
‘Cause I’m a grapefruit chuckin, motherfuckin wayward bolt retriever
