Oyster and the Flying Fish (Bob Harris Session) - Kevin Ayers

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

Ooh la la la ooh la la la

Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la

Ooh la la la ooh la la la

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

Ooh la la la ooh la la la

Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la

Ooh la la la ooh la la la

The flying fish came down to see

Just who had made this plea;

And seeing the poor oyster

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 la ooh la la la

Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la

Ooh la la la ooh la la la

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 ooh la la la

Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la

Ooh La la la la la la la la la la

Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la

Ooh la la la ooh la la la

Ooh la ooh la ooh la la la

Ooh la ooh la ooh la Ooh la la la
