Artist/Band: Elvis Presley
Lyrics for Song: Song of the Shrimp
Lyrics for Album: Kid Galahad/Girls Girls Girls!



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 louisianÂ’
Here come the shrimper for to take me to louisianÂ’

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 louisianÂ’
Here come the shrimper for to take me to louisianÂ’

Here come the shrimper for to take me to louisianÂ’
Here come the shrimper for to take me to louisianÂ’
Here come the shrimper for to take me to louisianÂ’
