Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (Baug) Down (C major) by the sea (E major) lived a
lone (D minor) some oyster, (G major)
(C major) Every (G major) day getting sadder
(D minor) and moister, (G major)
(C major) He found (F minor) his home life (D minor) awfully (G major) wet,
And longed (C major) to travel with (A major) the upper (G major) set.
Poor little oyster. (C major)
(Gaug) Fate (C major) was kind to (D minor) that oyster (G major) we know,
When (C major) one day the
(G major) chef from the (D minor) bar -casino
(G major) Saw (E major) the oyster (D minor) lying (G major) there,
And said, (C major) I'll put you on my (D minor) bill of (G major) fare,
(C major) Lucky little (D minor) oyster. (G major)
(C major) See (E major) him (G major) on his (A minor) silver (B major) platter,
(E minor) Watching (G major) the queens of fashion (D major) chatter,
(E minor) Hearing the (G major) wives (A minor) of million (Baug) aires
Dis (C major) cuss their marriages and
(D minor) their love af (E major) fairs.
Frilled little (A major) oyster, (E major)
(A major) see that (F sharp minor) bi valve (B minor) social (E major) climber
(A major) Feeding (F sharp minor) the rich (D major) Mrs. (E major) Hagenheimer.
(A major) Think of (F sharp minor) his joy (D major) as he gaily (C sharp major) glides
(B minor) Down (D major) to the (A major) middle of her (D major) gilded (B minor) in (B major) sides.
(C sharp major) Proud little (E flat minor) oyster. (D flat major)
Af (G flat minor) ter lunch, Mrs. H complains
And says to her hostess,
(E major) I've got (D minor) such pains,
(C sharp major) I came (F sharp minor) to town on my yacht (D minor) today,
(G major) But I (D major) think I'd (A major) better hurry (D major) back
To Oyster (C sharp major) Bay.
Scared little (F sharp minor) oyster. (C sharp major)
(F sharp minor) Off they (D major) go through the (F sharp minor) troubled tide,
The ox rolling madly (D major) from side to (C sharp major) side.
They're (F sharp minor) tossed about
till that poor young (D minor) oyster
Finds that it's time he should quit
his cool oyster.
(A major) Comes the (G major) oyster. (D minor) (F minor) (G major)
(C major) Back (F minor) once more where he (D minor) started (G major) from,
(C major) He murmured,
I haven't (D minor) a single (Ddim) qualm, (F minor)
(C major) For I've had a taste (F minor) of (D minor) so ci (G major) ety,
And (C major) so ciety has (D flatdim) (A major) had
(D minor) a taste of (E major) me.
Wise (C major) little (D minor) oyster! (G major) (C major)
