Thread Name: Lyr Req: Ever See a Diver Kiss His Wife
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ever See A Diver Kiss His Wife
EVER SEE A DIVER KISS HIS WIFE (WHILE THE BUBBLES BOUNCE ABOUT ABOVE THE WATER) was written by Shirley Ellis (whose real name was Shirley Elliston) and Lincoln Chase. It was recorded sometime in 1963-65. It appears on the albums "The Complete Congress Recordings," Connoisseur Collection CD 30340, 2001; and "The Very Best of Shirley Ellis," Taragon CD 1005.

Here's what I think I heard on a sound sample found at allmusic:

FEMALE VOICE:
Did you ever-eever-eyever in your life-lee-low
See a diver-deever-devver kiss his wife-wee-woe
Way beneath the ocean in the kingdom of the sea
While the bubbles bounce about above the water?

MALE VOICE:
No, I've never-neever-nyver in my life-lee-low
Seen no diver-deever-devver kiss his wife–wee-woe
Way beneath no ocean in no kingdom of no sea
While no bubbles bounce about above no water.
