Out on the ocean, waves cresting high
Three fishermen, under clear sky
Beneath the water, shadows move swift
The skies grow dark, and winds blow stiff
Lines in the water, hope in the air
But the tales in town give us a scare
With every tug hearts rise with hope
Three barrels is enough to make Jaws float
Oh You're gonna need a bigger boat
This beast is more than we can tote
The waves are crashin', our hearts are thrashin'
And the size of him ain't no joke
We need to look at this with some scope
This great white's more than we can hope
In the deep blue sea, it's just us three
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
The sun is sinking, horizon's painted red
We feel the menace, in every word unsaid
He circles closer, with those cold, dead eyes
In this tiny vessel, we will fight for our lives
Lines baited a lonely night creeps in
Moonlight shadows, all I see is a fin
With jaws so wide, voice caught in my throat
I shout, Captain, You're gonna need a bigger boat
Oh You're gonna need a bigger boat
This beast is more than we can tote
The waves are crashin', our hearts are thrashin'
And the size of him ain't no joke
We need to look at this with some scope
This great white's more than we can hope
In the deep blue sea, it's just us three
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
With a mighty crash, the shark strikes hard
Wood splinters, and we're caught off guard
Boat shatters, water floods in fast
We're thrown in the sea, this fight our last
In the swirling depths, the end is clear
As darkness takes us, we feel the fear
Entombed in the deep, the lesson wrote
We should have brought a bigger boat
Oh You're gonna need a bigger boat
This beast is more than we can tote
The waves are crashin', our hearts are thrashin'
And the size of him ain't no joke
We need to look at this with some scope
This great white's more than we can hope
In the deep blue sea, it's just us three
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
With a mighty crash, the shark strikes hard
Wood splinters, and we're caught off guard
Boat shatters, water floods in fast
We're thrown in the sea, this fight our last
In the swirling depths, the end is clear
As darkness takes us, we feel the fear
Entombed in the deep, the lesson wrote
We should have brought a bigger boat
Oh You're gonna need a bigger boat
This beast is more than we can tote
The waves are crashin', our hearts are thrashin'
And the size of him ain't no joke
We need to look at this with some scope
This great white's more than we can hope
In the deep blue sea, it's just us three
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
