Blowfish and Poison Darts

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Swampy Electric Guitar, Low Piano, Deep Organ, Sub-Bass, Drums, Percussion, Saxophone]

[Intro]
For dinner… what do you wish…
(Blowfish?)
What’s that little dart?
(Cupid!)
… did…
(Watch your heart!)

[Verse 1]
She served me up a blowfish
Said, “Honey, take a bite”
I said, “Are you quite certain?”
She said, “Everything’s alright”

[Pre-Chorus]
Love can be dangerous
(Dangerous for us!)

[Refrain]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Shouldn’t take in tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

[Verse 2]
She said, “It’s just a fish, dear
What could possibly go wrong?”
I said, “I’ve heard that story
… it’s the same old song”

[Refrain]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Stuffed within… tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

[Bridge]
Put more seasoning on…
(What poison?)
Sprinkle it on
(Oh, no!)
Stick with a lil’ prick
(Oh, whoa!)

Dart!
(Where?)
The heart!
(There!)

Don’t take it in…
(Don’t take it in!)
Don’t let it start…
(Don’t let it start!)

[Break]
She said:
“Take another bite.”
(I said, “No, no, no!”)

She said:
“It’s outta sight!”
(I said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa!”)

Cupid said:
“See… you can trust me.”
(I said…)
Is our love dead?
(Dead?)

[Instrumental: Dark Swamp-Blues Groove — Guitar, Organ, Bass, Saxophone, Drums]

[Final Refrain]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Shouldn’t take in tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

She said…
(Not yet!)

I said…
(You wanna make a bet?)

[Outro]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Don’t take in tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

[Silence]
