(Verse 1)
Welcome friends aboard my craft we cast away today
Wave goodbye to shore behind and glide through Amity Bay
Where sunlight warms the shingled roofs that line our harbor streets
And folks still sing of brave Chief Brody keeping safe the fleet
(Verse 2)
We skim past Brody’s humble home a legend on this shore
He saved us once from jaws below and peace returned once more
No hungry fin has sliced these waves for many shining years
So all relax and breathe the salt this harbor has no fears
(Chorus)
Raise your voice and trust the tide
With Amity 6 your faithful guide
We laugh we sail where gulls still cry
Through waters calm beneath the sky
(Verse 3)
Crackle on the radio a trembling cry for aid
Amity Three is calling out their hope begins to fade
Mayday comes in tortured shouts then silence steals their breath
Something stalks these secret depths and pulls them to their death
(Short refrain)
Amity Bay oh hold us near
Storm of teeth is waking here
(Verse 4)
We reach the lighthouse looming pale above a shattered hull
One last tour boat torn apart its colors darkened dull
What demons rise beneath the keel what razor strikes our mast
That wicked shape cuts through the deep the nightmare from our past
(Skipper cry, sung)
Shark in the water
Greatest one I ever saw
It circles under
Close enough to break our awe
(Bridge spoken with rhythmic underscoring)
Stay calm they say try the launcher
Aim steady they say
But firing blind at swirling foam
We back away we pray
(Verse 5)
I guide us through the boat house gloom machines begin to pound
The walls are shaking round our heads the gears refuse their ground
Come on engage I beg this craft or all of us are done
Then roar of luck the engine bites and out to light we run
(Verse 6)
A monstrous head erupts ahead its hunger sharp and wild
I shoot again the blast goes wide the dock ignites in fire
The heat consumes the wooden beams we flee that burning grave
The air turned scarlet by the flame as waves begin to rave
(Chorus)
Raise your voice though hearts may pound
We will not end beneath the sound
Of thrashing tides that crave our fear
We fight for life while danger nears
(Verse 7)
An old pier stands a battered hope I steer us toward its planks
The current shifts the shark returns we crash against the banks
A humming cable in the foam a spark that fate may lend
Come take your fill you devil brute and meet your fatal end
(Climax call)
Eat this beast beneath the sea
Your reign of terror ends with me
(Finale)
The water bright with lightning burst the serpent jerks and falls
The smell of smoke and salt and fear hangs heavy over all
We shake the spray from hair and coat then call aloud with pride
We are alive and heading home we beat the turning tide
(Outro: spoken then sung)
Base this is Amity 6 we are coming home
Raise your voice the day is won
Through Amity Bay in setting sun
