The Legend of the Tuna Smell

[Verse] I walked into the diner Took a seat by the door Sat down next to a trucker Who'd seen every state by the floor He turned and looked my way With a smile and a laugh Said "There's a tale of a tuna that you might wanna grasp." [Verse 2] Down by the harbor where the fishermen lie They tell of a woman Who's more than shy When the west wind blows and the tide ain't right You take a whiff and it hits you strong in the night [Chorus] Oh The tuna smell It lingers in the air It's the stuff of legends Makes you stop and stare From the docks to the diner Folks know it well The story of the woman with the tuna smell [Verse 3] Old Joe in the corner He swears by the moon The scent is a blessing Says it brought him his fortune He wrapped his gear Sailed far from the bay But the memory of that tuna smell never went away [Bridge] Some folks laugh and some folks cry But everyone's got a tale to pry When you talk of the sea and the women there The tuna smell is a story they all share [Verse 4] Sally at the counter She rolled her eyes Said "I've heard that story about a million times The scent's as strong as the sea itself But it's what makes this town a little different from the rest." [Chorus] Oh The tuna smell It lingers in the air It's the stuff of legends Makes you stop and stare From the docks to the diner Folks know it well The story of the woman with the tuna smell [Verse 3] Old Joe in the corner He swears by the moon The scent is a blessing Says it brought him his fortune He wrapped his gear Sailed far from the bay But the memory of that tuna smell never went away [Verse 4] Sally at the counter She rolled her eyes Said "I've heard that story about a million times The scent's as strong as the sea itself But it's what makes this town a little different from the rest."
