Hello, boys and girls, my name is Fatlip
And this is my friend, Sammy, the Salmon (what it do?)
Today, we're gonna teach you some fun facts about salmon
And a brand-new dance
ย
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 game, I'ma show you how
Put your hands to the side, as silly as it seems
And shake your body like a salmon floatin' upstream
I'll float upstream
You know how we do it, you know how we do it
Again
All my peeps spend part of their life in freshwater
And part of their life in saltwater
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 cr-
I heard somebody say out loud, "What the f- is that?
This dude's been dancin' like a fish, while he's doing the Snap"
But the more I kept doin' it, the more they were feelin' it
And then I heard some this-this say, "Yo, that man is killin' it"
By the end of the night, everyone was on my team
And the whole club was dancing like a salmon floatin' upstream
I'll float upstream
You know how we do it, you know how we do it
Again
Most of our friends find their home waters by 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 (uh-huh)
Gravitational pull of the moon (I'll float upstream)
The moon? Fish pay attention to the moon?
Wow! Who knew? (Again)
Did you know (what?)
That I could go to Japan and back?
You're kidding me
Amazing
Wow, hey, kids, hey, give it up for Sammy, the Salmon
And his amazing Salmon Dance
Huh, what do you say? Alright
Who's hungry?
