"Never mind that stuff, they sell from Vietnam
Get it from the Chesapeake, but never from the can
Follow my directions, it's an easy recipe
Strictly by the pound. Adjust accordingly

100 million years old
Transcendent creature
No bones about it
Hot bottom feeder

Don't bother with the lump, it won't stick together
I prefer backfin... And there's nothing wrong with special
Powdered mustard, parsley, a dab of mayonnaise
Just enough bread crumbs and one raw egg

100 million years old
Transcendent creature
I just can't get enough
Hot bottom feeder

Yes, indeed. Serve it up hot!
Yes, indeed. Like this

Grab a biscuit cutter and pack it till it's filled
Stick it in the reefer for a little time to chill
Butter up a skillet, fry till golden brown
Find yourself a beverage and wash it all down

100 million years old
Transcendent creature
No bones about it
Hot bottom feeder

100 million years old
Transcendent creature
I just can't get enough
Hot bottom feeder"
