Oysters |
Somebody wishing on a shooting star |
Shooting star streaming 'cross the sky |
You know it’s just a meteorite |
People throwing pennies on a wishing well |
Wishing well’s gonna run dry |
But I ain’t gonna leave you tonight |
Everybody talking about changing the world, |
World ain’t never gonna change |
But you could always change it for me! |
I’ll shuck all the oysters and you keep the pearl |
I do my shucking and my jiving for free |
Free… like walking down the beach at night |
Throw a bunch of lines out to the way you want |
Till you get it right |
Sometimes you don’t get it right! |
Sometimes you won’t get it right! |
But when you do, it’s outta sight |
Sometimes you do… get it right |
