lyrics

The Atlantic blue fin has some unique adaptations One of the most dominant predators in the ocean It starts as a tiny hatchling in the gulf of Mexico Or the Mediterranean, size of a human eyelash Oh! Thanks to their warm-bloodedness And powerful muscles Their torpedo shape and fins that fold into themselves They can reach a speed of 40 mph Faster than a great white shark and most predators
