about

First single from "William William Rodgers Sings the Yellow Pages".

lyrics

Tell your ma, tell your pa, you and me are going shrimping
Grab your net, let's pack the car, you and me are going shrimping

Your blue john eyes, your blue john eyes
I'm colour blind, your blue john eyes

Like a stalagmite and a stalactite we've dangled and we've dribbled
Took a thousand years or thereabouts but we finally made it to the middle
The time is right, the tide is low, let's pack our bags, here we go
Tell your ma, tell your pa, you and me are going shrimping
