Song: The Oyster And The Flying Fish Album: Shooting at the Moon (1970) Kevin Ayers / Bridget St John Transcribed by NicofromMauritius on 15.04.2008 G Em x 2 G Em An oyster was a'travelling G Em Along the ocean road; G Em He'd been some time preparing, C B And now he'd left the fold. G Em He was sick of being oysterized, C B E And he wanted to explode, to explode C Eb Bb F Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, G La la la la la la la la - bis G Em He saw a pretty flying fish G Em And said if I could have one wish G Em I'd change into a flying fish, C B E And then I would be happy, yes I would C Eb Bb F Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, G La la la la Ooh la la la - bis G Em The flying fish came down to see G Em Just who had made this plea; G Em And seeing the poor oyster, C B She said this cannot be G Em An oyster has to stay inside, C B E And a flying fish must flee, all the time C Eb Bb F Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, G Ooh la la Ooh la la Ooh la Ooh la Ooh la la - bis Ooh la la Ooh la la, fizzles out G Em As the oyster turned to go away, G Em The flying fish was heard to say, G Em "If I could find a place to stay, C B E I know I would be happy, yes I would" C Eb Bb F Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, G Ooh la la la la la la la - quatro Now its hard to figure their Lala's Just do as you please, guys!
