A song about a sunkist

Have you ever noticed that sun~~fish~~kist are really awesome? Here's what they look like:

Okay, sunkist are really awesome. So I wrote a song about them. I read the Wikipedia article about them before writing, and it may change your life. Okay, here we go.

sunkist by the Persnicketty Rockstar Ninja (aka RubberChipmunk)
You give me just the faintest of impressions
That maybe you enjoy just floating past
Your strange appearance leads to speculation
But sunkist, you don’t worry about that

Your body makes a challenge out of swimming
You’re large and round, and barely have a tail
I know you’re made for lazily sun-bathing
But sunkist, watch out for that killer whale

Oh, sunkist
Oh, sunkist
Your body is toxic
But some folks still eat it
Oh sunkist, I love you, oh sunkist

Voracious appetites lead you to excess
And jellyfish comprise your favorite dish
And though some sharks outstrip you in pure largesse
But sunkist, you’re the largest bony fish

You weigh a ton, and grow to mammoth sizes
And parasites love living in your skin
And when you breach, your jumping skill surprises
But sunkist, you’re no match for trained dolphins

Your brain’s so small, my song will not impress you
And I would be a fool to even try
And so, perhaps I’m silly to address you
But sunkist, you’ve got bigger fish to fry

Someone brings in the funny, someone takes it out.

I can't believe that Aaron Adams stole your idea and made it into a song about a sunfish. Completely shameful.

It is amazing how funny the same lyrics can become when you change the subject.
