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

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
