Frank Zappa - Mudshark Lyrics
Mud Sh-sh-sharkTHE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON!Lemme tell you 'bout the Mud Shark...The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows: There's a motel inSeattle, Washington called the Edgewater Inn. The Edgewater Inn'sbuilt on a pier.. so that means that when you look out your windowyou don't see any dirt -- it's got a bay or something out in yourbackyard,,, And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby ofthe aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where theresidents can go down whenever they want to, and rent a fishing poleand some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, openthe window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutesactually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into theirmotel room and do whatever they want with it... you know what Imean? Now in this bay there's quite a variety of ah... fish! Notonly do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopussesthat you can catch. And all these denizens of the deep can come inreal handy... Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll bandcalled the Vanilla Fudge. Let's say one night you checked into theEdgewater Inn Motel with a 8mm movie camera, enough money to rent apole, and just to make it more interesting -- a succulent young lady(Mnaaaah!) with a taste for the bizarre... My mind drifts back to ameeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport where themembers of the Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home moviethey made at the Edgewater Inn with a Mud Shark. I'm gonna tell you,this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!...OutYou go outSo far outYou do the Mud Shark. baby ... etc
