Frank Black - Song Of The Shrimp lyrics

I saw three shrimps in the water And two were old and grey So I swam a little closer And I heard the third one say "Goodbye mommy shrimp And Papa shake my hand Here comes the shrimp boat for To take me to Louisiane" He showed his mama and his papa papa papa papa papa papa papa The shrimp newspaper he read And there the advertisement To all the young shrimps said "Free ride New Orleans To stay in Grand Hotel Meet Creole gals That help you out of your shell" Goodbye mommy shrimp And Papa shake my hand Here comes the shrimp boat for To take me to Louisiane His poor mama and his poor papa papa papa papa papa papa papa They haven't heard from him yet Last time they've seen his smiling face Is when he jumped into the net Goodbye mommy shrimp And Papa shake my hand Here comes the shrimp boat for To take me to Louisiane Here comes the shrimp boat for To take me to Louisiane Here comes the shrimp boat for To take me ah take me
