Song Lyrics:

This is the Andrews Sisters version:

Choo choo to Broadway foo Cincinnati
Don't get icky with the one, two, three
Life is just so fine on the solid side of the line, rip

Hold tight, hold tight, a-hold tight, hold tight
Fododo-de-yacka saki
Want some seafood mama
Shrimps and rice; they're very nice
Hold tight, hold tight, a-hold tight, hold tight
Fododo-de-yacka saki
Want some seafood, mama
Shrimps and rice; they're very nice

I like oysters, lobsters too,
I like my tasty butter fish, fooo
When I come home late at night
I get my favorite dish, fish

Hold tight, hold tight, a-hold tight, hold tight
Fododo-de-yacka saki
Want some seafood, mama
Shrimps and rice; they're very niiiiiiiiiiiiice
Bad da do daa, da de do da do daa, ba da da da do daaaa

Fododododo Yacka sacki
Want some seafood, mama
Shrimps and rice; they're always very nice

Fododo dya, Fododo dya Fododo-de-yacka saki
Want some seafood, Mama
Oh, won't you give it to me
'cause I'm as happy as can be
When the seafood comes to me
La-da-da La-da-da La-da-da

I like oysters, lobsters, too
Ba-da-da-dat-dat-da-dada-data
When I get home late at night
I get my favorite dish, fish

Hold tight, hold tight, a-hold tight, hold tight
Fododo-de-yacka saki
Want some seafood, mama
Shrimps and rice are very nice

Ho, ho, hold tight won't cha hold tight, Hold tight
Fododododo Yacka sacki
want some seafood, Mama
Shrimpers a-hand ri-hice a-hare very nice

I like oysters, lobsters too,
I like my tasty butter fish, Joe
When I come home late at night
drip drip drippin' on the window pane
Wash it
Hold tight do-dat-do-day
Hold tight she wants some seafood, mama
Shrimpers and rice; they're very nice

(instrumental)

I like oysters, lobsters too,
I like my tasty butter fish, fooo
When I come home late at night
I get my favorite dish, fish

Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
Want some seafood, Oh, Mama
Shrimpers and rice; Oh, Hold tight (OGRastamon)
