All he wanted was a lady   When at night he came up from the deep   He was feeling like any other lonely fella   Decided to take one while the city was asleep      The unsuspecting maiden   Was clutched from where she lay   And taken away to a home down under   The waters of the local bay      By the creature from the Black Lagoon   Strange to see him back so soon   After his last intended did the dirty on him   Didn't last five minutes in the swim      With the creature from the Black Lagoon   Be seeing him again real soon   After this intended lets him down   Won't last five minutes with him around      Only surfaced for a companion   Cause of that he's never been seen   Just a big look written in the eyes of his baby   And a cry of terror, a honeymoon scream      The unsuspecting maiden   Will be clutched from where she sleeps   And taken away to a home down under the water   And that's for keeps      By the creature from the Black Lagoon   Strange to see him back so soon   After his last intended did the dirty on him   Didn't last five minutes in the swim      The unsuspecting maiden   Will be clutched from where she sleeps   And taken away to a home down under the water   And that's for keeps      By the creature from the Black Lagoon   Strange to see him back so soon   After his last intended did the dirty on him   Didn't last five minutes in the swim      With the creature from the Black Lagoon   Be seeing him again real soon   After this intended lets him down   Won't last five minutes with him around      By the creature from the Black Lagoon   Strange to see him back so soon   After his last intended did the dirty on him   Didn't last five minutes in the swim      With the creature from the Black Lagoon   Be seeing him again real soon   After this intended lets him down   Won't last five minutes with him around
