Gonna tell you all a story
An encrypted allegory
'Bout a man who took a little trip
And no he didn't fly a plane
And no he didn't ride a train
You know he climbed aboard a rocket ship
But see the rocket was his mind
Being hurtled by the kind
Of herbs that Granny's known to grow on the lawn
It's symphonic supersonic
It's a non-ironic tonic
From the bottom of the sea-meant pond

Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond

He said "I wanna race to Venus
But there's so much space between us
I'm afraid it'd take too long to do"
When the rocket soared to Heaven
He was there in maybe six or seven minutes
Give or take a few
Once the rocket parked
Uncle Jed he disembarked
And burst into a hallelujah song
And then he did a danse-macabre
Among the fancy candelabra
On the bottom of the sea-meant pond

Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond

He walked into the yard
And took a stroll around the garden
For to have a little shake-and-bake
Uncle Jed does as he pleases
Said "When I'm sure no one sees us
Gonna smoke a joint for Jesus' sake
The only thing that rankles
Is if someone from the bank calls
And is hot to talk of stocks and bonds
Now wouldn't it be funny
If I sank all of my money
In the bottom of the sea-meant pond"

Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond
‘Neath the bottom of the sea-meant pond
Lies the bottom of another deeper sea-meant pond

"Miss Jane looks like a Clydesdale
Got the hots for Mr. Drysdale
Who is not the most upstanding guy
Now where the hell is Jethro?
Boy's been trouble from the get-go
’Specially now that he's a double naught spy
I watch out for competitors
And predators and senators
All scheming for the pieces they want
If they touch Elly May
There's gonna be some hell to pay
Down at the bottom of the sea-meant pond"

Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond
‘Neath the bottom of the sea-meant pond
Lies the bottom of another deeper sea-meant pond

So now it's time to ramble on
And say goodbye to everyone
To Elly May and Jethro Bodine
To Uncle Jed who whittles
While old Granny makes her vittles
Out of varmints it's the usual routine
If you don't want to say farewell
Then take your shoes off set a spell
And Uncle Jed'll pass you the bong
Elly May'll dance for you
And maybe drop her pants into
The bottom of the sea-meant pond

Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant
Deep in the sea-meant pond
‘Neath the bottom of the sea-meant pond
Lies the bottom of another deeper sea-meant pond
