Lyrics
Go to sleep, my rotten Little Ray
And dream of dark and evil deeds!
For instance: wouldn’t it be fun to scatter scallops with a glare?
Make the Grunion run around the Lionfish's lair?
[Always my favorite when I was a kid.]
Time to hit the sack, my brooding little brat
For one day, you'll be feared from sea to sea
When your worst you're at your best
Close your eyes, you need your rest
If you want to be just like me
[It'll take a little practice of course.]
You're the most deplorable, horribly adorable
Manta that a daddy's ever seen!
Have a real bad night, give those beddy bugs a fright!
It's delightful when you're spiteful!
I'm so proud, I wanna scream!
[I love a lullaby.]
Rest your wings, my precious little pup.
Relax in peaceful misery
Drift away, and pretty sooner, you'll be terrorizing tuna!
Just remember: Being wicked is the key!
If you want to be just like me.
[I'm gonna make you the meanest kid on the ocean floor!]
