From the Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stampfel album "Come On Board" recorded by Mark Ospovat at Emandee studios, Dec 21, 2010 in Brooklyn, NYC.

lyrics

There's a diamond mine, it's full of slime
It's so dark you could lose your mind
Something's brewing in Atlantis
A squid and a giant praying mantis
Jesus Christ, this ain't no fantasy

Once we sat in downtown Manhattan
but now we're 20,000 leagues under the sea
Can we take the pressure or will we flatten?
No one knows just what awaits
Invertebrates, tectonic plates
Perhaps the ruins of an ancient great city

It's pretty cold, it's pretty old
The only light is glowing mold
Look out or you'll end up in-
Side of a leviathan
Who do you think is smarter, that dolphin or me?

I hope your Self-Contained Underwater
Breathing Apparatus is in order
Because it's 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 ,18, 19...
20,000 leagues under the sea!
