Lou's Eel

[bnewman]

A silly song that was done just for the pun and (I hope) doesn't outstay its welcome.

Dr. Louie loves critters — if it runs, hops, or skitters

He'll want one to show to his class

On a tropical foray, he said: that's a moray

Bet that'll look good behind glass

 

/ G - - - / - - C - / D7 - - - / - - - G - /

 

But when you saw that swimmer, you said: What's for dinner?

And you netted it out of the tank

Took the tidepool's main feature, fed it to another creature

Betcha teacher's not going to laugh at your prank

 

/ G - C - / D7 - - G - / C - - - / - - G - / D7 - G - /

 

You picked a fine time to feed me Lou's eel

That pet wasn't meant to be et for a meal

Now, I'm a good doggy, I love some unagi

But think how the prof's gonna feel

You picked a fine time to feed me Lou's eel
