Subject: Lyr Add: THAT'S A MORAY (from Another Dixie Band)
The instrumental part of this performance is quite comical and is reminiscent of Spike Jones and His City Slickers.


THAT'S A MORAY
As recorded by Another Dixie Band on "And Now for Something Completely Different!" (1999)

There's a fish in the sea who is bad as can be; that's a moray.
If he gives you the eye as you're snorkelin' by, that's a moray.
When he asks you to dinner, you're gonna get thinner; that's certain.
If that snake-in-the-grass starts to go for your fork, you're a-hurtin'.

He is ugly and ornery and hungry and that's the whole storay.
He likes swimmers and divers and surfers and jet-skiers, too.
If he gets kinda close, you had better start headin' for shore-ay.
Windin' up as a snack like a fishy Big Mac is a bore-ay.
