The secret word for tonight is mud shark
And of course with the mud shark secret word is the mud shark

A marvellous little arpeggio
And now the mating call of the adult male mud shark:

Mud sh-sh-shark

The mud shark dancing lesson!

Mud sh-sh-shark
We're gonna do a little dancing,
A little dancing thing called the mud shark
Now, this dance started up in seattle

Lemme tell you 'bout the mud shark...
The origins of the mud shark are as follows: there's a motel in
seattle, washington called the edgewater inn. the edgewater
inn's built on a pier.. so that means that when you look out
your wind
U don't see any dirt -- it's got a bay or something out in your
backyard,,, and to make it even more interesting, in the lobby
of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where
th
Idents can go down whenever they want to, and 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
Es 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? now in this bay there's quite a variety of ah...
fish!
Nly do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses
that you can catch. and all these denizens of the deep can come
in real handy... let's say you were a travelling rock and roll
ba
Lled the vanilla fudge. let's
Say one night you checked into the edgewater inn motel with a
8mm movie camera, enough money to rent a pole, and just to make
it more interesting -- a succulent young lady (mnaaaah!) with a
tas
R the bizarre... my mind drifts back to a meeting, a chance
meeting in the chicago o'hare airport where the members of the
vanilla fudge told don preston about a home movie they made at
the edge
Inn with a mud shark. i'm gonna tell you, this dance, the mud
shark, is sweeping the ocean!...

Out
You go out
So far out
You do the mud shark. baby ... etc

What's a girl like you
Doin' in a place like this?

I left my place after midnight
And i came to this hall
Me and my girlfriend, wecame here
Lookin' to ball

You came to the right place
This is it
This is the swingin-est place
In new york city

(chorus line) no shit!

How true it is
Me and my girlfriend, we come here
Every night looking for that
Hot romance we need
We like to get it on --
Do you like to get it on, too?

Well now, what did you have in mind?

Okay: well i get off bein' juked
With a baby octopus
An spewed upon with cream corn! aah... unh!
An' my girlfriend, she digs it
With a hot yoohoo bottle
While somebody's screamin':
Corks 'n' safeties
Pigs 'n' donkeys
Alice cooper's gonna ... aaaaaah!

Well, it gets me so hot
I could scream
(chorus line) alice cooper, alice cooper! yaaaah!
Alice cooper, alice cooper! yaaaah!

You two chicks sound real far aout and groovy
Ever been to a holiday inn?
Mna-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa...
Magic fingers in the bed (picture it!)
Wall-mounted tv screen:
Coffee-wost plugged into the bathroom wall
Formica's really keen!

(chorus line) what kind of girl do you think we are?
What kind of girl do you think we are?
Don't call us groupies
That is going too far
We wouldn't ball you
Just because you're a star

These girls wouldn't let just anybody
Spew on their vital parts
They want a guy from a group with a
Big hit single in the charts

Funny you should mention it:
Our new single just made the charts this week
With a bullet! with a bullet!
Lust let me put a little more
Rancid budweiser on my beard right now, baby

And you can show me how a young girl such as you
Might be thrilled and overwhelmed by me...

What hotel did you say you are staying at?

Wanna split right away?

Not so fast, you sillt boy... there's one thing i gotta say:

(chorus line) we want aguy from a group who's got a thing in the
charts
We want aguy from a group who's got a thing in the charts
We want aguy from a group who's got a thing in the charts
We want aguy from a group who's got a thing in the charts

And if his dick is a monster
If his dick is a monster
If his dick is a monster
We will give him our hearts...

Hold it! please hold it!

My god, madge... you voluptuous new york city slit...
Why did'nt you tell me before?
It was so hard to tell with your little blousey-poo on,
But.. now that i see you... i would have helped...
I didn't know you were so obviously.. pregnant...

Steam roller
Steam roller
(talkin' 'bout your haemorrhoids mama),
Steam roller

And you say you belong to me,
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world would be,
So very fine,
So happy together

Tears began to fall and fall and fall

Since my baby drove away

Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall and fall and fall
Tears began to fall
Ayayayaaaa...

And now i'm sittin' here all alone
Without no love of my own,
Without no love of my own
Without no love of my own

Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall
Tears began to fall and fall and fall
Down the church
'cause i feel so hurt
Since my baby drove away

Tears began to fall
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Tears began to fall,
Tears began to fall
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Tears began to fall,
Tears began to fall
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Tears began to fall,
Tears began to fall
