[Verse 1]
A7
I saw three shrimps in the water
Dm
And two were old and grey
Gm
So I swam a little closer
A7 Dm
And I heard the third one say
[Chorus]

"Goodbye mommy shrimp
A7 Dm
And Papa shake my hand
Gm
Here comes the shrimp boat for
A7 Dm
To take me to Louisiane"

He showed his mama and his papa papa papa papa papa papa papa
Dm
The shrimp newspaper he read
Gm
And there the advertisement
A7 Dm
To all the young shrimps said

"Free ride New Orleans
A7 Dm
To stay in Grand Hotel

Meet Creole girl
A7 Dm
To help you out of your shell"
