Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]An [Em]oyste[G]r [Em]was[G]
[Em]a`travelli[G]ng
Along the [Em]ocean [G]road;
He`d been some time pre[Em]paring,
And [C]now he`d left the [B]fold.
[G]He was sick

[Verse 2]
of being oysterized,
[Em]And he w[C]anted to e[B]x plode, to ex[E]plode.
[C]Ooh la, [Eb]ooh la, [Bb]oo h la, oo[F]h la[G],
La la la [C]la [Eb]la l[Bb]a la [F]la.[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]He saw a pretty fly[Em]ing fish
[G]And said if I could [Em]have one wish
[G]I`d change into a [Em]flying fish,
[C]And then I would be hap[B]py, yes I wou[E]ld.
[C]Ooh la, [Eb]ooh la, [Bb]ooh la, o[F]o h l[G]a,
La la la [C]la [Eb]la l[Bb]a la [F]la.[G]

[Verse 4]
The [G]flying fish came [Em]down to see
Just [G]who had made this plea;
[Em]And [G]seeing the poor [Em]oyster,
[C]Said this cannot [B]be.
[Baug]An oyster [G]has to stay in[Em]side,
And [C]a flying fish must [B]flee, all [E]the time.
[C]Ooh la, [Eb]ooh [Bb]la, ooh[F] la, oo[G] h la,
La la [C]la [Eb]la la[Bb] la la [F]la.[G]

[Verse 5]
As the [G]oyster turned to [Em]go away,
[G]The flying fish was [Em]heard to say,
"If [G]I could find a[Em] place to stay,
[C]I know I would be [B]happy,
yes I [E]would."[Em]
[C]Ooh la, [Eb]ooh la, [Bb]ooh la, o[F]oh la,
[G]La [C]la [Eb]la l[Bb]a la [F]la[G][C]
[Eb]la l[Bb]a.[F][G]

[Outro 1]
