E
Lobsters are monogamous
A
they mate for life
B7
weeelllllllllll Except for one named Louie,
E
who wouldn’t take a wife.
E
His friends would say that Louie
A
Was doomed to rot in jail
B7
He thought the world was his oyster
E
clawing after sweet lobster tail.
B7 E (mute guitar until “true”)
And that was a very shellfish thing to do
B7
Louie please be true
A E
Even minnows go to school
B7
Don’t flounder like a whale.
A E
stuck in shallow shale
A
You chose a life of mischief
E B7
when you could have been a starfish!
E
His friends called him a hard ass
A
his folks caught him smoking sea weed (water bong sound effect)
B7
When you’re in a pinch.
E
He won’t come crawling to your need.
E
He started sleeping with the fishes
A
(ohh that fishy smell!)
B7
Started selling black tar herring
E
but it was a hard sell
B7 E (mute guitar until “true”)
And that was a very shellfish thing to do
B7
Louie, please be true
A E
Even minnows go to school
B7
Don’t flounder like a whale.
A E
stuck in shallow shale
A
You chose a life of mischief
E B7
when you could have been a starfish!
A E
he got caught up with some mobsters
A E
they said you’d butter shell out the cash
A E
or else we’ll make you lobster mash
A B7
and serve you with a pinch of Mrs. Dash
E
It was too late to call on his friends.
A
the mob came to waste him fast.
B7
and over that boiling water
E
he saw his life in a hot flash
E
Why didn’t he flow with the ocean?
A
why’d he hang out with coast trash?
B7
he poured out his last salty tear,
E
blubberin’ to Mrs. Dash.
B7
but what it all boiled down to, was that everything he done
A B7 A E
had been a shelfish thing to do.
B7
Wudda been butter had you been true
A E
Even minnows go to school
B7
You got floundered like a whale.
A E
stuck in a shallow shale.
A
You could have been a starfish!
E B7
Now you’re so deliciouuuuuus!
E
