[Verse 1]
He was sipping on a latte
On a tourist pier
Of course
When a smiling gray torpedo
Showed up with some backup force
Flippers flashed like tiny gang signs
Then the world went blue and short
“Congratulations
You’re selected
To help us build our Fort”
[Chorus]
Gerald’s undersea Fort
Welcome to your weird new job
You’re the human intern
Buddy
For a dolphin planning mob
Got a helmet full of bubbles
Blueprints taped to your resort
You’re a hostage architect
Down in Gerald’s undersea Fort (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
They cuffed him with some seaweed
Sat him on a coral chair
Gerald rolled up in a crown
Made of traffic cones and hair
Clicked his teeth
“We’ve seen your LinkedIn
You did three months in resort”
Now you’re drafting escalators
For my ocean mega-Fort
[Chorus]
Gerald’s undersea Fort
Glass domes
Kelp-shaped streetlights
He’s zoning out the clam cafés
And roundabout for stingray bikes
Every time you ask for surface
They just hand you one more report
“You can breathe when there’s a food court
In our Gerald-branded Fort”
[Bridge]
There’s a subway made of seahorses
Parking lot for giant crabs (hey!)
City hall inside a shipwreck
Octopus in charge of cabs
He files a hostage complaint
To an eel in a suit and tie
They stamp it with a rubber duck
“Appeal denied
Now tile that sky”
[Chorus]
Gerald’s undersea Fort
Now it’s got a mayor
Too
Ribbon-cut with plastic bottles
Whole pod chanting “We love you!”
He squints up at the surface
With a half-resigned retort
“If I ever make it back
I’m still charging you for this Fort”
