Song Of The Shrimp Lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Words & music by Bennett - Tepper) 

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'
