Steve Forbert - Fried Oysters Lyrics

Steve Forbert Lyrics

"Fried Oysters"

Take your time and show me I'm in too much of a whirl
Though I'm trying to do what you said do
I'm your date and you said eight and you're my oyster girl
And I won't eat fried oysters without you

I won't eat fried oysters without you and the cocktail sauce
I don't care what they cost, it's worth those high prices
I'm your date and you said eight and you're my oyster girl
And I won't eat fried oysters without you

I won't eat fried oysters without you and cocktail sauce
I don't care what they cost, it's worth those high prices
Take your time and show me I'm in too much of a whirl
I won't eat fried oysters without you

Houston town is on flat ground and around here questions swirl
What's the next big hurricane gon' do?
I could move, but all I'd prove is you're my only pearl
And I won't eat fried oysters without you

I won't eat fried oysters without you and cocktail sauce
I don't care what they cost, it's worth those high prices
Take your time and show me I'm in too much of a whirl
I won't eat fried oysters without you, you
I won't eat fried oysters without you
