Clyde McPhatter -- Deep Sea Ball

DEEP SEA BALL
(Scott Winfield)
CLYDE McPHATTER (ATLANTIC 2060, 1960)

Deep in the ocean at the catfish hall
All of the fishes had a deep sea ball
First came a whale flippin'* on her tale
Then came a tadpole along her trail
They were rockin', ooh they were rollin'
They were rockin' and rollin'
Rockin' at the deep sea ball

In came the lobster, he was doin' the bop
Then came the codfish doin' the hop
Old misses lobster was just doin' the stroll
While mister salmon did the rock 'n' roll
They were wailin', ooh they were sailin'
They were wailin' and sailin'
Wailin' at the deep sea ball

Old Davy Jones was leadin' the band
He had a pretty mermaid holdin' his hand
In came the sea horse, kickin' up his heels
He'd got charged from the electric eel
They were ziggin', ooh wee they were zaggin'
They were ziggin' and zaggin'
Ziggin' at the deep sea ball

Said mister starfish shinin' bright
We'll have a ball here every night
All of the fishes from the seventh sea
Came here to party just as long as can be
They were wailin', ooh they were sailin'
They were wailin' and sailin'
Wailin' at the deep sea ball
They were rockin' and rollin'
Rockin' at the deep sea ball
They were rockin' and rollin'
Rockin' at the deep sea ball
