THE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON
Mud Sh sh shark
Wait a minute we're gonna do a little dancing
a little dancing thing called the Mud Shark
Now this dance started up in Seattle
Yes
The story
Lemme tell you the story 'bout the Mud Shark
Mud Sh sh shark
Bring the band on down behind me boys
Say Good God Ain't it funky Say
The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows
Mud Sh sh shark
There's a motel in Seattle Washington called the Edgewater Inn
The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier so that means that
when you look out your window you don't see any dirt
it's got a bay or something out in your backyard
Mud Sh sh shark
And to make it even more interesting in the lobby
of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle
shop where the residents can go down and whenever
they want to rent a fishing pole and some preserved
minnows and schlep back up to their rooms open
the window stick their little pole outside and within
a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that
they can bring into their motel room and do whatever
they want with it you know what I mean
Mud Sh sh shark
Now in this bay there's quite a variety of fish
Mud Sh sh shark
Not only do they have mud sharks up there
they got little octopusses that you can catch
Fish
Mud Sh sh shark
And all of these denizens of the deep can come in real handy
Mud Sh sh shark
Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll
band called The Vanilla Fudge let's say one night you
checked into the Edgewater Inn with an 8mm movie camera
Mud Sh sh shark
Enough money to rent a pole and just to make it more interesting
Mud Sh sh shark
A succulent young lady
Nooo
With a taste for the bizarre
Mud Sh sh shark
My mind drifts back to a meeting a chance meeting
in the Chicago O'Hare Airport
Mud Sh sh shark
Where the members of The Vanilla Fudge told
Don Preston about a home movie
they made at the Edgewater Inn with a mud shark
Mud Sh sh shark
And I'm gonna tell you this dance the Mud Shark
is sweeping the ocean
Hey Mud Sh sh shark
Ah we're goin' Go 'head Ah we're goin'
Now we're gonna go out somehow Come one
Out
You go out
So far out
You do the Mud Shark baby
