Jacques Cousteau

Posting this on the regular lyrics thread so I don't get put out by the real rappers from the Rap section!!
Have fun!!


Jacques Cousteau


Hey, Mr. Jacques Cousteau
I really wanna know
How ya live underwater
Without air when ya oughtta
Be on the ground?
How ya make that sound?
Glub.

Hey, Jacques Cousteau
Gotta wet tableau
When you take a dive
You don’t blow the prize.
No hesitatin’
You watchin’ the matin’

Of a jelly fish
Not a petri dish!
You my kinda man,
Mr. Jacques Cousteau,
Cause you really blow
In your underwater home.
Blub.

Jumpin’ for the dive-in,
Thumpin’ when ya drivin’
Through the blue hole
With tha water in it
Gimme a minute
I wanna be in the know,
Mr. Jacques Cousteau.

Jumpin’ and divin’
Drivin’ and thrivin’
Makin’ a livin’
Where the fish in.
You in a blue heaven
Turned around
On the up-side-down
Explorin’
Where the mountains
Bore in
Below sea level
Low!
Gotta weight-belt in
Your naval
You’re Naval, alright!
Mr. Air-Tight
Whoa!
Skinny-tights
Outta sight!
Blow!

Mr. Jacques Cousteau
Hey, in the hole!
Dig me out some
Gold doubloons
If you got room
In your
Underwater zoom
With tha windows in it.
Hey! Wait a minute!
Don’t go
Aint done,
Ya know?
Come on back,
Hey, Mr. Jacques Cousteau!
He gone.
Glub.

# 2 veiwer!I was waiting for the poem you promised in Frankie's Poems-Prose-Personal Proverbs.Only one Comment;you misspelled"the" in the fourth verse.Other than that............Perfect!

"Tha" wuz intentional. I would have put "tha windas" also (last verse), but that might be too unclear to non-Americans.
I'm actually at how much you like my rhyme!
It was fun to do. I got tha bump an' the rhyme goin' on.
Maybe I'll record it on YouTube and post it here!

I knew I was sticking my neck out by posting that!What the hey,tha is the new The!Tha Doug.

Tha's awright.

Hi F. J., I´m not sure but I could think that this is the first song made to Jaques Cousteau, I remember when I was a Boy and saw his interesting documentals about the deep waters in the oceans.
I wanted to point that all the rhymes sound fresh and fast, and the end is so funny, so I think that if you make a song, it could be fast rhythm and festive, to celebrate the amazing life of this great sea man. Glub!!!

Gracias!! Fiesta time!

You are a cowgirl indeed

Thanks, safey. As we say in America, I wear "many hats"!! One of them is a Stetson!

Or a bandana, as the case may be.

Or maybe you refer to my being a "tomboy"!!! In which case I might wear a baseball hat, slightly askew!

But when I'm a lady, the hatter's
Another matter!!

This Thread has more Heat than Shawdow Heat!Who woulda thought!!!!!!You're a regular Wild West Jasmine!

no, no "tomboy" thing... My comment had to do with the fact that I don't get half of the lyrics of that song

It's all "Texan" to me

(taken from the saying: "It's all greek to me" )...

Well, lots of cowboys in Texas...speaking with similar, difficult to understand accent and idioms/slang expressions ...thus my comment :P

So, I can now safely baptize you: "Kentucky cowgirl"

Safey, you're so funny!! You're so expert with English, I thought you'd pick up on almost everything. Your joke is funny, but Texas is nowhere near where I live, so you might as well have said "Greek"!!! (That was funny, though!!! ) Some of the phrasing is in vernacular related to rap and is not proper English that you'd learn as a language. That might be why you don't get it. At least you got enough that you ROFL!!!!

Blow = one reference is to someone who can really sing or do something extraordinarily well; an older reference is to the scuba gear, exhaling (blow). Of course the biggest references in street language is for drugs and other acts I do not mean anyway...

Thumpin' = some young people's rides (another expression = cars/autos) are wired for deep bass sound; therefore when they drive along, the ground and sometimes even houses start thumping or shaking because the bass of their music is so loud! Usually, you feel the vibration before a car even enters your road. Once they're driving by your house can hear the music as well as the bass--and your even sturdy windows are rattling! "Zoom" is another version of "ride" or car.

"Blue heavens turned around on the up-side-down," is a reference I made to the blue ocean itself.

You're just making my life harder than it is ....

but thanks for the try ->

Ima throw down a penny give up Like numba twenty
cause tha lines are mean comin down on da sheen
so clean its poppin like Coustea be hoppin
hope he ain't gonna show no speed-O on dat i-Tab-leau

love it Frankie!!!

(i know that the meter of my lines is not right for rap but i'm really not a poet, that's the best i could do and F.J. this is your thread anyway ^.^)

Great job Frankie! It rocks!

@Miss Tess: You just had to do it didntcha?

Yes, Moon. She had to. It's an irresistable urge inside of us that grows greater the more we try to keep it 'pinned down,' right, Tess?
We're so much better off to let it fly than deny it. Otherwise we're eaten alive from the inside-out, like "The Blob"!!!
Unbridled enthusiasm, words on the loose, emotions spanglin', with little held back . . . And that's no poetry, but the truth!

@Moon:
@Frankie J: M-O-R-E gotta have more

You know I won't stop, so how may I help you, Mr. Safe-kins?
