go on, get (the shrimp song)

appears i've cast a wide net
hard to negotiate the ins and outs
always on, except when called upon

but that's how it is when you catch
a free trip to new orleans 
to stay in grand hotels

that creole gal to help you
come out of your shell
is on the clock like all of us

doing what she may 
to feed her young
and maybe hear the show from the back

her poor mama and papa
ain't heard from her yet
shed a tear each time they think
how they said go on, get
