This children's song describes different aquatic creatures - a slippery fish, octopus, tuna fish, great white shark, and humongous whale - swimming in the water. Each verse follows the same pattern where the creature is described swimming and then gets eaten with a "Gulp...Gulp...Gulp!" until the final humongous whale gets eaten and causes the eater to burp and say "Pardon me!"
