Story behind the song
Fred wrote the lyrics to this because he realized (Like I had years before) that he was just Pondscum. There really is a house on the island that used to be all pink but it isn't anymore. They still call it the pink house????

Pondscum

Verse 1
South of Turners
North of the pond
Spending time trying
To write this song
I either leave too early or stay too long
I finally figured out what’s right is wrong
I’ve been gone too long
Chorus
Going to the north end have a little fun
Going to the north end drink a little rum
Nothings ending
It’s all begun
In the end we’re all pondscum
Verse 2
Going to the pond
From Cat and Dale’s
Just a couple miles to
Old Whales Tail
Exuma sun turns you dark from pale
Diving for conch and looking for bales
You know it never fails
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
The pink house is yellow
But that’s ok
I never cared for John’s pink houses anyway
They might paint it blue or let it ride
But we all know it’s pink inside
It’s all pink on the inside
Repeat Chorus
