lyrics

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 diver 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 that hat a 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 that hat a comin' and you would know
That it's Jacques Cousteau (Jacques Cousteau!)

Now France might be know for their 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 (it's true, I looked it up)
