This was a real nice
Clambake
We're mighty glad
We came
The vittles we et
Were good
You bet!
The company
Was the same
Our hearts are warm
Our bellies are full
And we are feelin'
Prime, this was a
Real nice clambake
And we all had a
Real good time!
First come
Codfish chowder
Cooked
In iron kettles
Onions floatin'
On the top
Curlin' up in petals!
Thrown in ribbons
Of salted pork
An old
New England trick
And lapped it
All up with a
Clamshell
Tied onto a
Bayberry stick!
Oh...
This was a real nice
Clambake
We're mighty glad
We came
The vittles we et
Were good, you bet!
The company was
The same
Our hearts are warm
Our bellies are full
And we are feelin'
Prime...
This was a real nice
Clambake
And we all had
A real good time!
Remember when
We raked them
Red hot lobsters,
Out of the
Driftwood fire?
They sizzled and
Crackled and
Sputtered a song
Fitten fer an angels'
Choir!
Fitten fer an angels'
Fitten fer an angels'
Fitten fer an angels'
Choir!
We slit 'em down
The back and
Peppered 'em good
And doused 'em
In melted butter
Then we tore away
The claws and
Cracked 'em
With our teeth
'Cause we weren't
In a mood
To putter!
Fitten fer an angels'
Fitten fer an angels'
Fitten fer an angels'
Choir!
Then at last
Come the clams!
Steamed under
Rockweed and poppin'
From their shells
Just how many
Of 'em galloped
Down our gullets
We couldn't say
Oursel's!
Oh...
This was a real nice
Clambake
We're mighty glad
We came!
The vittles we et
Were good
You bet!
The company was
The same, our
Hearts are warm
Our bellies are
Full and we are
Feelin' prime
This was a real
Nice clambake
And we all had a
Real good time!
We said it afore
And we'll say it
Again
We all had a
Real good time...!
