Oysters, oh oysters, oysters, said she

For I see you are a lover of oyyyy - sters

Oh Landlord, oh landlord, landlord, I cried

Where me and my pretty little oyster girl may lie
A E A
While we bargain for her basket of oyyyy - sters

We hadn't been upstairs for a quarter hour or more

But she left me with a basket of oyyyy - sters

Oh landlord, oh landlord, landlord, I cried
