He was a French explorer born in 1910
He's been to the Antarctic and back again
The man I speak of is not weak or small
He's the greatest sea divers of them all
He loved fishes and the deep blue sea
A friend to the animals and you & me
Who's the coolest scuba diver we know?
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
That sea explorer from long ago
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
He's 20,000 leagues below
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
You'd see his red hat comin' and you would know
That it's Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
He used to hang with the dolphins & the fishes yeah
And every once in while he'd come up for air
Sailing the Calypso with his trusty crew
Diving and exploring was the thing to do
He loved fishes and the deep blue sea
A friend to the animals and you & me
Who's the coolest scuba diver we know?
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
That sea explorer from long ago
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
He's 20,000 leagues below
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
You'd see his hat comin' and you would know
That it's Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
"I stare into the shark infested deep
That is where I will send my son Philippe
J'aime bien le poisson, j'aime bien la mer
Au revoir Philippe, brother of Pierre"
Now France might be know for it's accomplished swimmers
But this guy made the rest look just like beginners
He would travel for adventure and he'd travel for fun
From the Mekong River to the Amazon
He loved fishes and the deep blue sea
A friend to the animals and you & me
Who's the coolest scuba diver we know?
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
That sea explorer from long ago
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
He's 20,000 leagues below
Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
You'd see his hat a comin' and you would know
That it's Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau
