Lyrics
[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."
