[Intro]
\nThough not an eel
\nI still bow and kneel
\nRendered lifeless
\nBy the knifefish<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\n(Ouch!) Don’t touch
\nNo, don’t touch
\nIt’s too much
\nOf a shock
\n(Clean your clock)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe electrocytes
\n(Well, they just might)
\nPut out your lights
\n(Say goodnight)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nEight hundred and sixty volts
\n(Delivers quite a jolt)
\nLike a lightning bolt
\n(Downing from drowning)
\nDown (down, down)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThough not an eel
\nI still bow and kneel
\nRendered lifeless
\nBy the knifefish
\n(Could be my next dish)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe electrocytes
\n(Well, they just might)
\nPut out your lights
\n(Say goodnight)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nEight hundred and sixty volts
\n(Delivers quite a jolt)
\nLike a lightning bolt
\n(Downing from drowning)
\nDown (down, down)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThe electrocytes
\n(Well, they just might)
\nPut out your lights
\n(Say goodnight)<\/p>\n
