Down in the valley by the Chevron smoke
Lives a man they call Shark, no joke
He’s a middle manager, drives a big-wheeled jeep
Thinks he King of the Sea, Lord of the Deep
The shark
Reads his license plate
The shark
Says the sign above his gate
He has guile, got style
But he hasn’t had any action in a long, long while
He got the name
In the ancient past
Became the name of his game
He put it on blast
Through high school and college
Gave him identity
Through corporate climbing
Gave him security
The Shark
A real go-getter
The Shark
Signing off on your termination letter
Controls the facts, holds the axe
And he has to keep making fat stacks
While everybody was spacing out
The Shark started to look within
This whole shark thing – snap out of it
Self-reflection is for dolphins
Be it the cafeteria
or the Pickleball court
The shark holds tightly
To a steely comport
But down in the hole
That once was his soul
Swims a small fish
In a little fishbowl
The Shark
Drinking alone by the pool
The Shark
Wants to be loved, wants to be cool
He has guile, got style
But might be nice if someone called him Kevin once in awhile
The Shark
Kevin is his real name
The Shark
Kevin is his real name
