David Lee Roth (born October 10 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana) is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, rock climber, adventurer, actor, author, and former radio personality, perhaps best known for his work with the band Van Halen and his fast-talking, oversized personality. He left Van Halen at the pinnacle of his tenure with them in 1985 (being replaced by Montrose's Sammy Hagar) and formed a solo band. After some time spent performing lounge jazz to small audiences, Roth recruited a wondergroup of Steve Vai (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Greg Bisonette (drums), and released the wildly successful 'Eat 'em and Smile' album in 1986. For a while, Roth's success equaled that of his own band; but while Van Halen became huge with Hagar behind the mic, DLR's star faded over time. After the impressive dream-team line-up of the David Lee Roth band imploded due to ego, guitar prodigy Jason Becker (formerly of Cacophony) was bought into the fold in 1989.

Hammerhead Shark Lyrics

David Lee Roth

It was a time of trouble
And a time of grief
Kings lay with whores
And begat thieves
Yeah the world was wicked
And their hearts were cold
Noah said to his missus
Well, it's time to go
Lord said to Noah
'Fore ya float that arc
You better save me a space
For my hammerhead shark
Whoa yeah, the Hammerhead Shark
Now, now now Johnny liked to drink and fight
And he raised big hell every Saturday night
When the sheriff found him
Nearly broken in two
Sheriff said to Johnny
Well, I think I know who
If he had teeth like knives
And skin like bark
You musta rumbled it up
With a Hammerhead Shark
Mmm, the Hammerhead Shark
A woman went to court
Entered her plea
Said, "Keep my husband away from me...
He don't understand what a man should know
By the time I could teach him
He'd be far too old!
Judge I found a lover ain't afraid of the dark
Honey, I'm in love with a Hammerhead Shark"
Hammerhead Shark
Watch me know, watch me know
(Here he comes)
Take it easy baby, Take it easy
(Here he comes)
Watch me know, watch me know
(Here he comes)
Wow!
Over there, over there!
Women all over, cross the USA
Got spoiled to death in the hammerhead way
President went to Congress, here's what he said:
"Gentlemen, our honor has been betrayed!
We're in deep, deep water, 'less I missed my mark
Put out an APB on the Hammerhead Shark!"
Wow!
A woman went to court
Entered her plea
Said, "Keep my husband away from me...
He don't understand what a man should know
By the time I could teach him
He'd be far too old!"
Beep bop belula bitty bop shoo wow!
I found a love
