Make your wet dreams come true

Pretty creepy by 21st century standards, but that was Al Smith’s slogan favoring repeal of Prohibiton.

“Wet Dream” by Kip Addotta

It was April the 41st  
Being a quadruple leap year  
I was driving through downtown Atlantis  
My Barracuda was in the shop, so  
I was in a rented Stingray  
And it was overheating  
So I pulled into a Shell station  
They said I’d blown a seal  
I said, “Fix the damn thing  
And leave my private life out of it  
Okay, pal?”  
While they were doing that  
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar  
A real dive  
But I knew the owner  
He used to play for the Dolphins  
I said, “Hi, Gil!”  
You hafta yell, he’s hard of herring  
Think I had a wet dream  
Cruisin’ through the Gulf Stream  
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh  
Wet dream  
Gil was also down on his luck  
Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water  
I gullied up to the sandbar  
He poured the usual  
Rusty snail, hold the grunion, shaken, not stirred  
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side Heavy on the mako  
I slipped him a fin, on porpoise  
I was feeling good  
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry’s squids  
For the halibut  
Well, the place was crowded  
We were packed in like sardines  
They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal  
What sole  
Tommy was rockin’ the place with a very popular tuna Salmon Chanted Evening  
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers  
Probably there to see the bass player  
One of them was this cute little yellowtail  
And she’s giving me the eye  
So I figure, this is my chance for a little fun  
You know – a piece of Pisces  
But she said things I just couldn’t fathom  
She was too deep  
Seemed to be under a lot of pressure  
Boy, could she drink  
She drank like a… she drank a lot  
I said, “What’s your sign?”  
She said, “Aquarium”  
I said, “Great! Let’s get tanked.”  
Think I had a wet dream  
Cruisin’ through the Gulf Stream  
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh  
Wet dream  
I invite her up to my place for a little midnight bait  
I say, “C’mon baby, it’ll only take a few minnows”  
She threw me that same old line  
“Not tonight, I got a haddock”  
And she wasn’t kiddin’ either  
‘Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock  
I’d ever seen come down the pike  
He was covered with mussels  
He came over to me,  
He said, “Listen shrimp  
Don’t you come trolling around here”  
What a crab  
This guy was steamed  
I could see the anchor in his eyes  
I turned to him  
I said, “Abalone! You’re just being shellfish”  
Well, I knew there was going to be trouble  
And so did Gil  
‘Cause he was already on the phone to the cods  
The haddock hits me with a sucker punch  
I catch him with a left hook  
He eels over  
It was a fluke  
But there he was, lying on the deck  
Flat as a mackerel  
Kelpless  
I said, “Forget the cods, Gil  
This guy’s gonna need a sturgeon”  
Well, the yellowtail was impressed  
With the way I landed her boyfriend  
She came over to me, she said  
“Hey big boy, you’re really a game fish”  
“What’s your name?”  
I said, “Marlin”  
Think I had a wet dream  
Cruisin’ through the Gulf Stream  
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh  
Wet dream  
Well from then on, we had a whale of a time  
I took her to dinner  
I took her to dance  
I bought her a bouquet of flounders  
And then I went home with her  
And what did I get for my trouble?  
A case of the clams  
Think I had a wet dream  
Cruisin’ through the Gulf Stream  
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh  
Wet dream
