Lyrics[]
Elliott:
So this ain't the end, I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away, eeh
Smiled like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails, alright!
Rachel:
You lying so low into the weeds
Yeah, bet you wanna ambush me
Elliott (and Rachel):
You have me (down, down, down, down on my knees)
(Now) Wouldn't you (Rachel: Woo)
(Barracuda?) Oh, yeah (Rachel: Oooh!)
Back over time we were all trying for free
You met up with porpoise and me, uh uh
Rachel:
No right no wrong, selling a song, a name
Whisper game
And if the real thing don't do the trick
Elliott and Rachel:
You better make up something quick
(Elliott: You gonna) burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Now, woo, Barracuda?
(Rachel: Awoo!) (Elliott: Oooh yeah!)
(Rachel: Oh yeah)
"Sell me, sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep now save my head
Elliott:
You (Rachel: Oh!)
I think you got the blues too, yeah
Elliott and Rachel:
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Elliott (and Rachel):
Made for the western pools (silly, silly fools!)
Oooh yeah!
If the real thing don't do the trick
You better (make up something quick)
You gonna (burn, burn, burn, burn, burn into the wick)
Ooh, Barra-Barracuda (Rachel: Barra-barracuda!)
Yeah! Yeah! Oooh noo woah! Oooh! C'mon yeah yeah! (Rachel: Ooh!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Barracuda! (Rachel: Ooh!)
Elliott and Rachel:
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Rachel:
Ooh, hey (Elliott: Barracuda)
Elliott and Rachel:
Barracuda!
