THEME: OCEAN, MARINE LIFE SONGS

Glow in the Dark Sharks

We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world

Did you know that there are scientists
Studying the twilight zone?
It’s about 200 to 1000 metres down
Did you know they’ve found
Three types of bioluminescent sharks
The kitefin and the black belly lantern
And the southern lantern
And you know what that means?

We got glow in dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks
We got glow in dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks

They got photophores on the side of their bellies
That means they make blue light that shines deep down
They got great big eyes to see in the shadows

I wouldn’t wanna meet one on a dark night in the town
So if you ever catch me diving a thousand metres down
I promise I’ll take my shiny disco ball
And we can have a party with the

Glow in the dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks
Glow in the dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks

Cruising in the ocean in a luminous way
In a place where the sunlight cannot shine its rays
So they gotta make their own
Glow in the dark sharks roam
Off the southern coast of Aotearoa
In the mesopelagic, deep dark fantastic
Illuminate the ecosystem
Where the humans don’t go
Only with a robot or a submarine
I wish I could see that dream

We got glow in the dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks
Glow in the dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks
We can have a party with the
Glow in the dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks
Glow in the dark sharks, glow in the dark sharks

We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
We live in an amazing world, an amazing world
