This is shamelessly an attempted Oingo Boingo style parody. I had just gotten a trumpet and was learning to play it and eager to record some simple parts.
The song follows an obsessive fish-man in his eerie underwater world.
lyrics
Do you wanna take a swim?
Do you wanna swim with me?
The water's so fine
In the deep blue sea
Do you wanna take a swim...
I know I may look strange
My skin all scaly green
But could you take a chance?
Do you wanna swim with me?
I wanna swim with you
I've watched you from afar
Don't leave me in the blue
With a cold, cold, broken heart
Do you wanna take a tour?
Do you wanna see my home?
It's just a sunken ship
Filled with human bones
Do you wanna take a swim
Do you wanna take a swim
Do you wanna take a swim
Do you wanna take a swim
Do you wanna fall in love?
Do you wanna run away?
I'm really so alone
I wish that you would stay
I wanna swim with you
I've watched you from afar
Don't leave me in the blue
With a cold, cold, broken heart
