Rock lobster
B-52’s Lyrics

We were at a party
We were attending a social gathering

His earlobe fell in the deep
A person's ear was dropped into the water

Someone reached in and grabbed it
An individual retrieved the dropped item

It was a rock lobster
The object that was picked up from the water was a rock lobster

Rock lobster
Repeating the phrase to emphasize the rock lobster

We were at the beach
We were at the seaside

Everybody had matching towels
Everyone had towels of the same design

Somebody went under a dock
An individual went under a pier

And there they saw a rock
They saw a rock-like object

It wasn't a rock
The object was not actually a rock

It was a rock lobster
The object that looked like a rock was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
Movement in the sea

His air hose broke
A person's air supply pipe malfunctioned

Lots of trouble
There were many issues or problems

Lots of bubble
There were many bubbles

He was in a jam
The person was in a difficult situation

S'in a giant clam
The person was trapped inside a large shellfish

Rock rock
Repeating the word rock for emphasis

Down, down
Describing a downward movement

Repeating the phrase

Let's rock!
An exclamation to get excited and dance

Boy's in bikinis
Boys wearing swimsuits typical of girls

Girls in surfboards
Girls riding on surfboards in the water

Everybody's rockin'
Everybody is dancing and moving with the music

Everybody's fruggin'
Everybody is dancing a specific type of dance called 'The Frug'

Twistin' 'round the fire
Dancing or moving around the fire

Havin' fun
Enjoying oneself

Bakin' potatoes
Cooking potatoes

Bakin' in the sun
Being out in the sun and getting a tan

Put on your noseguard
Wear a protective device for the nose

Put on the Lifeguard
Wear a lifeguard uniform or put on sunscreen

Pass the tanning butter
Give me the lotion to help me get a tan

Here comes a stingray
A stingray is approaching

There goes a manta-ray
A manta ray is swimming away

In walked a jelly fish
A jellyfish entered the area

There goes a dog-fish
A dogfish is swimming away

Chased by a cat-fish
A catfish is chasing after the dogfish

In flew a sea robin
A sea robin flew by

Watch out for that piranha
Be careful not to get bitten by a piranha

There goes a narwhal
A narwhal is swimming away

Here comes a bikini whale!
A person wearing a bikini looks like a whale
