He has run the water Now 15 years Ruling the structure And ruling the piers Beautiful and silent As he tends his mighty shore But now he's caught and Released to heaven's door See you on the flip slide, Mr. Ba*s Though your pa*sing makes me so damn mad I will cry more for you than when John Lennon pa*sed Oh, I see you on the flip side Mr. Ba*s Big and strong as a fish can come Bad news for your laughs Leans up against a stump all day Like a superstar of Hollywood pa*s He ain’t scared of nothin’ He killed an alligator with his fin But a virus is what finally done him in See you on the flip slide, Mr. Ba*s Though your pa*sing makes me so damn mad I will cry more for you than when John Lennon pa*sed Oh, I see you on the flip side Mr. Ba*s So, good-bye, Mr. Ba*s May you rest in peace Too bad that God Don’t do catch and release You’re goin’ to that great big Live well in the sky Filled with water that Fell from Gods own eyes See you on the flip slide, Mr. Ba*s Though your pa*sing makes me so damn mad I will cry more for you than when John Lennon pa*sed Oh, I see you on the flip side Mr. Ba*s
