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 hole down under
The waters of the local bay.

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a
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 of the Black Lagoon-a
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 hole down under
The water, and that's for keeps.

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a,
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

Won't last five minutes with him around.
