Say, what's that smells like fishes
Tell ya if you really wanna know (2x)
Ain't sardines,m don't come in a can
Just what every woman wants from every man
(Repeat first pair of lines)

Keep that blacksnake off me,
It's cold and clammy to the touch
Mama, mama, gotta realize
Blacksnake goes between yer thighs

Now keep yer fingers off it, doncha dare touch it
You know it don't belong to you.
Two ol' ladies in a great big bed
One turned to the other, and then she said
...

Well, you can lick it if you like it, but doncha dare bite it
Even if you want it bad
Look here, mama, I know you
You can get it when it's killing you
...

My man is a deep sea diver, he goes down so long
He goes down like a good man oughter
Comes around when he's outta water,
...

Well, you asked. This is the version I have sung since that same period and place (Washington Square in the early sixties) but I can tell you right now I don't sing it very often!
