The Simon Sisters - The Lobster Quadrille lyrics

"Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance They're waiting on a shingle - will ya come and join the dance? Will ya, won't ya, will ya, won't ya Will ya join the dance? Will ya, won't ya, will ya, won't ya Won't ya join the dance? You can really have no notion how delightful it will be When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea But the snail replied, "Too far, too far!" and gave a look askance Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he could not join the dance Would not, could not, would not, could not Could not join the dance He would not, could not, would not, could not Could not join the dance "What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied There's another shore, you know, upon the other side The further off from England the nearer is to France Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance Will ya, won't ya, will ya, won't ya Won't ya join the dance? Will ya, won't ya, will ya, won't ya Won't ya join the dance?
