Artist/Band: Frank Zappa
Lyrics for Song: The Mud Shark
Lyrics for Album: Fillmore East [1971]



[includes a quote from Little House I Used To Live In]



FZ: That's right, you heard right, the Secret Word for tonight is Mud Shark!

And of course with the Mud Shark Secret Word is the Mud Shark

Arpeggio . . . a marvellous little arpeggio, and now the mating call of the

adult male Mud Shark . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: THE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON!



Mud Sh-sh-shark



Mark: Wait a minute . . . we're gonna do a little dancing . . . a little dancing

thing called the Mud Shark . . . Now, this dance started up in Seattle

Howard: Yes . . .

Mark: The story . . .

FZ: Lemme tell you the story 'bout the Mud Shark . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: Bring the band on down behind me, boys . . .

Howard: Say! Good God! Ain't it funky! Say!

FZ: The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: There's a motel in Seattle, Washington, called the Edgewater Inn . . .

The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier . . . so that means that when you

look out your window you don't see any dirt, it's . . . got a bay or something

out in your backyard . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned

motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down and,

whenever they want to, rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows

and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole

outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they

can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it, you

know what I mean?



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: Now in this bay there's quite a variety of . . . fish!



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses

that you can catch



Fish!

Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: And all of these denizens of the deep can come in real handy . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called The Vanilla

Fudge . . . let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn with an

8mm movie camera . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: Enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: A succulent young lady!

Howard: Nooo!

FZ: With a taste for the bizarre . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: My mind drifts back . . . to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago

O'Hare Airport . . .



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: Where the members of The Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home

movie they made at the Edgewater Inn . . . with a mud shark!



Mud Sh-sh-shark



FZ: And I'm gonna tell you, this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!



Hey! Mud Sh-sh-shark



Mark: Ah, we're goin'! Go 'head! Ah, we're goin'! Now we're gonna go out,

somehow! Come one!



Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby



Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

(Now show 'em what they do with the Mud Shark!)

Out

You go out

(Now show 'em what they do with the Mud Shark!)

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Hey!

Out

You go out

(Catch the Mud Shark)

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby

Out

You go out

So far out

You do the Mud Shark, baby
