I've been fishing in my canoe
Clouds were getting black as ebony
Tried to fight the rising storm
Waves like mountains towered over me
What a smashing all around
And before I knew it, I was overboard
When all seemed lost, from below
Something took me safely to the shore
(Flipper) When everything is sinking fast
(Flipper) And your world is upside-down
(Flipper) When you think things can't get worse
(Flipper) Carry me to solid ground
Dexter is an octopus
He's an evil creature with a goal
He just won't be satisfied
'Til all of Quetzo is under his control
But when there's trouble in the deep
Flipper and his underwater friends
Ray and Ottie, Puffy too,
Always seem to come to our defense
(Flipper) When everything is sinking fast
(Flipper) And your world is upside-down
(Flipper) When you think things can't get worse
(Flipper) Carry me to solid ground
