Elvis Presley Song of the Shrimp
Written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett. Elvis recorded it in March 1962 at Radio Recorders for his 1962 film Girls! Girls! Girls! It is available on the Girls! Girls! Girls! Soundtrack.
I saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and gray
I swam a little bit closer and I heard the third one say
Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
He showed his mama and papa, the shrimp newspaper he read
An invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said
Free ride, New Orleans, stay in grand hotel
Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
If I should live to be ninety, I will never forget
The little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the net
Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'

I have never heard this,and I know my Elvis.I looked it up because I'm reading a book and it says he hated it and felt ridiculous for singing it.Some of these movies is part of what killed Elvis.He was a great actor when given a real script:( Still got love though.
