Any day swimming with a manatee is grand. And, this day got EVEN BETTER because then we went to see the mermaids at Weeki Wachee and saw IDA play that evening for the first time in a decade - see cltampa.com/tampa/singing-the-praises-of-idas-historic-ch.... Pretty awesome. Yep.

NERF HERDER - "(Stand By Your) Manatee"

I am a manatee
I live in the sea
I sneak up at night
Pretty baby, just to love you right

You're friend's gonna put me down
'Cause I'm fat, slimy, and brown
They'll never know how you sigh
When you feel my flipper movin' up your thigh

I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
Stand by your manatee

Don't you act like a stranger
Even though I am endangered
Your lady's gonna flip
With a kiss from my prehensile lip

Some call me a fat sea-cow
But I'm I got real know-how
You'll hunger for the taste
Of my briny sea water on your pretty little face

I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
Stand by your manatee

Tell the lobster
Tell the bass
The alligator can kiss my ass

Tel the barnacle
Tell the crab
Tell the whale and Captain Ahab

How you scream and shout "Hot damn!"
When you feel my whiskers on your clam, yeah

Swim
Swim (alright)
Swim
Swim

Pretty baby, how you look so nice
I wanna lick you once or twice
Rub my fat, blubbery body
All over you and get real naughty

I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
Stand by your manatee
