[Verse 1]
The old man, Santiago, didn't catch a fish for days
He returned unhappy and was pretty damn ashamed
He tells his grandson, Manolin, about this one last move
Manolin thinks to himself, this is grandpa's groove
[Verse 2]
So, on the eighty-fifth day of his unlucky streak
He caught a marlin, dragging forth his boat down the stream
Santiago's friends, they caught the fish with his harpoon
The marlin thought to himself, this is grandpa's groove
[Verse 3]
Yeah, this is grandpa's groove
And everyone, they're screaming out
That was grandpa's groove
[Verse 4]
So, on the eighty-fifth day of his unlucky streak
He caught a marlin, dragging forth his boat down the stream
Santiago's friends, they caught the fish with his harpoon
The marlin thought to himself, this is grandpa's groove
[Verse 5]
The marlin died a bloody death, along came many sharks
They attacked the fisherman, but couldn't kill this spark
When he came home with the skeleton of the marlin as his proof
Everyone was screaming out, this is grandpa's groove
[Verse 6]
Yeah, this is grandpa's groove
Yeah, this is grandpa's groove
Yeah, grandpa got those moves
And everyone were screaming out
This is grandpa's groove
[Verse 7]
Yeah, this is grandpa's groove
Yeah, grandpa got those moves
And everyone were screaming out
This is grandpa's groove
