[Verse 1: Les Claypool]
I'm a dog, a dirty flying dog
I drink Campari with marinated wild hog
I've no sense, I lick electric fence
I put barbed wire in my pants and do a Celtic dance
But when I can, I am a givin' man
I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the pan

[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool]
And if you're down lookin' like you're gonna drown
Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around

[Chorus: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]
I'm a drownin' man
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who’ll save this dirty drownin' man? (Ohhh)

[Verse 2: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]
You're so fine (You’re so fine), so bright and shiny fine
And I'm so proud to say that you in fact are a friend of mine
And doubly pleased (Doubly pleased) with crooked and wobbly knees
I dive on in and backstroke right across these seas of cheese
But on the times when I'm not such a giving man
Please flip me out the fire and back up into the pan
[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool]
And if you're down lookin' like you’re gonna drown
Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around

[Chorus: Les Claypool]
I'm a drownin' man
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who’ll save this dirty drownin' man?

[Bridge: Martina Topley-Bird]
Ohhh-ooh-ooh
Ohhh, ohh, ohhh-ooh

[Verse 1: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]
I'm a dog (I’m a dog), a dirty flying dog
I drink Campari with marinated wild hog
I've no sense (I’ve no sense), I lick electric fence
I put barbed wire in my pants and do a Celtic dance
But when I can, I am a givin' man
I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the pan

[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool]
And if you're down lookin' like you're gonna drown
Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around
[Chorus: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]
I'm a drownin' man
(Who will save this drowning man?)
Who will save this drownin' man?
(Who will save this drowning man?)
Who will save this drownin' man?
(Who will save this drowning man?)
Who’ll save this dirty drownin' man?

[Bridge: Martina Topley-Bird]
Ohhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh

[Pre-Chorus: Les Claypool, (Martina Topley-Bird)]
(Ohhh, ohhhh) And if you're down lookin' like you're gonna drown
Of all your friends, I'm the one who's most apt to stick around

[Chorus: Les Claypool]
I'm a drownin' man
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who will save this drownin’ man?
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who will save this drownin' man?
Who will save this drownin' man?
[Outro: Les Claypool]
Who will save this drownin' man?
