Frank Black lyrics : "Song Of The Shrimp"

(Elvis Presley cover)

I saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and gray

I swam a little bit closer and .. I heard the third one say

Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand

Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'


He showed his mama and papa, the shrimp newspaper he read
An invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said
Free ride, New Orleans, stay in grand hotel

Big Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
Big Creole gal who help you come out of your shell


If I should live to be ninety, I will never forget
The little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the net


Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'


Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'

Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'

(Thanks to tom for these lyrics)
