Red tide enters a bay
On the coastline of Mexico and LA
And way out where the water is deep
The red tide will take you to sleep
The red tide wasn't always this way
At least that's what the wise and elderly say
It used to be with us as a friend
But those days have come to an end
Red tide enters the bay
And this time it means to stay
So wade out 'til the water is deep
And let the red tide take you to sleep
