The Clam
I found a clam beside the sea inside a seedy sack. I said to the clam, "Dear sir or ma'am, allow me to call you Jack Will you come home with me for a cup of tea And maybe a midnight snack? For I have some nice Tobasco sauce To pour upon your back." I put the clam in a big brass pot And I boiled a burbling brew, And his green eyes gleamed And he steamed and steamed And he grew... and grew... and GREW... He was oh so small -- now he's nine feet tall And I'm feeling rather blue 'Cause he's pouring Tabasco sauce on MY back... Now what do you think he'll do?! Aus Songtexte Mania
