An oyster was a'travelling
Along the ocean road;
He'd been some time preparing,
And now he'd left the fold.
He was sick of being oysterized,
And he wanted to explode, to explode
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la - bis
He saw a pretty flying fish
And said if I could have one wish
I'd change into a flying fish,
And then I would be happy, yes I would
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la Ooh la la la - bis
The flying fish came down to see
Just who had made this plea;
And seeing the poor oyster,
She said this cannot be
An oyster has to stay inside,
And a flying fish must flee, all the time
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
Ooh la la Ooh la la Ooh la Ooh la Ooh la la
- bis Ooh la la Ooh la la, fizzles out
As the oyster turned to go away,
The flying fish was heard to say,
"If I could find a place to stay,
I know I would be happy, yes I would"
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
Ooh la la la la la la la - quatro
Now its hard to figure their Lala's
Just do as you please, guys!
End on a single, drawn Laaa...
