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
