I saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and grey

I swam a little bit closer and, I heard the third one say

Goodbye Mama shrimp, Papa shake my hand

Here come the shrimp boat for to take me 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
E A E B7 E
Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
E A E B7 E
Meet 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
E A E B7
Goodbye Mama shrimp, Papa shake my hand
E A E B7 E
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me Louisian'
E A E B7 E
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me Louisian'
