Song of the Shrimp Lyrics
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'
I swam a little bit closer and .. I heard the third one say
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
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
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'
I think the meaning behind this song is pretty self evident, its about...lol...Shrimp, and if, they had human qualities, how they would feel, this sounds kind of crazy, but it's true.
I think the song is influenced from some old southern children's rhyme like the ones that give human charachteristics to humans or forces of nature.it;s a nice song i love the way francis sing.
i men animals in the second humans.sorry
a friend informed me that this is an elvis presley cover.hmmm...
