Rem Narrator lyrics

When I was watching TV back in `73
A skinny old man sure appealed to me
His name by now, I`m sure you know
The man who played a starring role in Jacques Cousteau

And ever since then I`ve written the dude
Dreaming of swimming around the
coral reef
I`d even bought my camera and my scuba gear
If only Jacques had called to stop a career

I wanna be a narrator
For the Jacques Cousteau show

Swimming under water with my microphone
I`d record noises in the aqua-zone
Chasing down the killer whale that`s eating our crew
Just to bring the story (facts) back to you

I wanna be a narrator
For the Jacques Cousteau show

I`ve written the networks, sent my picture too
Done everything I could possibly do
I`ve given up trying to get through to him
Maybe he knows I don`t know how to swim

I wanna be a narrator
For the Jacques Cousteau show
