I want some seafood mama

An I don’t mean no turnip greens

I want some seafood mama

An I don’t mean no turnip greens

I want some fish, ooo-well-well

An you know just what I mean

I want fish, fish mama

I wants it all the time

I wants fish, fish mama

I wants good fish all the time

The people calls it seafood, woo-well-well

All up an down the line

If you love your seafood

You is a good friend of mine

If you love your seafood

You is a good friend of mine

If you don’t love good fish, woo-well-well

You better get on some kinda time

I want some seafood, mama

Because I am a seafood man

I want some seafood, mama

Because I am the seafood man

When I can’t get my seafood

I goes to raisin' sand

So bye-bye, people

I hope this July will find you well

Hm-mm, bye-bye people

I hope this July will find you well

Because the seafood I’m talkin' about

Ooo-well now, I swear it is a-burnin' hell
