I’ve been called a sucker many times
In the literal sense of the word
I attach myself to sharks and ships
And hitch myself a ride
My remora friend Al persuaded me
That the flashy boat was best
Not the usual reliable older ones
We use for a good long rest
The flashy boat took us far away
I got a bit sick for my home
So I lost my head and lost my nerve
And detached myself from that plaice
I was floating around looking for a lift
When a lady remora passed by
She looked at me, so I followed her
Into the deep of the deep blue sea
So now I really miss my friend Al
He’s the best friend a sucker could be
