The Lyrics
What's that buzzin 'round in my suit
Some jellyfish, they're stingin' too
Stingin' me with swingin' hands
I am really in a jam
I came here to surf
Now I can't squirm fast enough
I should have stayed on turf
'Cause the sign warned of bad stuff
Wet Suit Riot
Gotta get them out of here
Wet Suit Riot
Gettin' cold, feelin' really weird
I went through some waves and thought they were gone
But soon I found out that I was so wrong
They're still stingin', I don't understand
So right off the beach I ran
Left the suit in my car
In the trunk is where they are
I won't open it
Because I would not get far
Wet Suit Riot
Gotta get them out of here
Wet Suit Riot
Gettin' cold, feelin' really weird
Left the suit in my car
In the trunk is where they are
I won't open it
Because I would not get far
Wet Suit Riot
Gotta get them out of here
Wet Suit Riot
Gettin' cold, feelin' really weird
I'm in a Wet Suit Riot
Some jellyfish, they're stingin' too
Stingin' me with swingin' hands
I am really in a jam
I came here to surf
Now I can't squirm fast enough
I should have stayed on turf
'Cause the sign warned of bad stuff
Wet Suit Riot
Gotta get them out of here
Wet Suit Riot
Gettin' cold, feelin' really weird
I went through some waves and thought they were gone
But soon I found out that I was so wrong
They're still stingin', I don't understand
So right off the beach I ran
Left the suit in my car
In the trunk is where they are
I won't open it
Because I would not get far
Wet Suit Riot
Gotta get them out of here
Wet Suit Riot
Gettin' cold, feelin' really weird
Left the suit in my car
In the trunk is where they are
I won't open it
Because I would not get far
Wet Suit Riot
Gotta get them out of here
Wet Suit Riot
Gettin' cold, feelin' really weird
I'm in a Wet Suit Riot

this was...well...a riot....funny concept...great job...5s
I think this is FAB, Larry...nice work!
Funny idea. 555
Clever, nice job Larry!
Very funny...5s
Thanks Alvin, Arwen, Agri, Jeff and Rick!
(ABC) Evidently i gave this a 555 the first time around. I don't remember that at all! How did i forgive the attempted rhyme of "Turf" and "Stuff"? :) Oh well.
Thanks Agri. Turf rhymes with surf, and stuff rhymes with enough. It's the rhyme scheme of the song.
(ABCW) I haven't heard TOS in ages but the choruses scan perfectly and it is funny (even though I've had a jellyfish get past my wetsuit before which was decidedly NOT funny!) so all 5s.
(ABCW) I DKTOS, but I do know WAVOTOS. Very funny.
Thanks Red and Bob.
good attempt
Ouch!!! Jellyfish in your wet suit, damn, and I thought I had problems...
Thanks Tomario and Matthias.
(ABC) I was boogie-boarding at NC's Outer Banks one summer and was stung by a jellyfish --- maybe if I'd been wearing a wet suit, things would have turned out differently ... (then Johnny D reads this parody) ... oh ... well, on second thought...
Thanks Johnny.
ABCW - I keep saying "Put little doors in westuits to let the stray jellyfish out" but does anyone listen? No! - I sympathise Larry - 555
(ABC05) I too haven't heard the OS in a while but, found this easy to sing along with and, as I mentioned above, it was funny.
(ABC) Jellyfish-in-wetsuit parody? Now THAT's what I call an original idea! Great job...555
Thanks Stu, Rick, and Kristof.
ABC: See above, and loved the Jellyfish line
Thanks Jeff.
It was good, but i think too maney of the lyrics were too close to the origanal zoot suit roit. 454
