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
Es actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room
and do whatever they want with it... you know what I mean? now in this bay
there’s quite a variety of ah... fish!
Nly do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can
catch. and all these denizens of the deep can come in real handy... let’s say
you were a travelling rock and roll ba
Lled the vanilla fudge. let’s
Say one night you checked into the edgewater inn motel with a 8mm movie camera,
enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting -- a succulent
young lady (mnaaaah!) with a tas
R the bizarre... my mind drifts back to a meeting, a chance 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
