Fins, written with Deborah McColl, Barry Chance, and Tom Corcoran
“
Can't you feel 'em circlin' honey?
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
And you're the only bait in town.
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
And you're the only girl in town.
— Jimmy Buffett
