Song Of The Shrimp

I saw three shrimps in the water

And two were old and gray

So I swam a little closer

And I heard the third one say



Goodbye mommy shrimp

Papa shake my hand

Here comes the shrimper for

To take me to Louisian'



He showed his mama and his papa

The shrimp newspaper he read

Then there the advertisement

To all the youg shrimps said



Free ride New Orleans

Stay in grande hotel

Meet a Creole gal

To help you out of your shell



Goodbye mommy shrimp

Papa shake my hand

Here comes the shrimper for

To take me to Louisian'



His poor mama and his poor papa

They haven't heard from him yet

Last time they seen his smiling face

Is when he jumped into the net



Goodbye mommy shrimp

Papa shake my hand

Here comes the shrimper for

To take me to Louisian'
