(This Was) A Real Nice Clambake

A Real Nice Clambake (Album Version) - Jean Darling/Eric Mattson

This was a real nice clambake

We're mighty glad we came

The vittles we et

Were good you bet

The company was the same

Our hearts are warm our bellies are full

And we are feeling prime

This was a real nice clambake

And we all had a real good time

Remember when we raked them red hot lobsters

Out of the drift wood fire

They sizzled and crackled and sputtered a song

Fitting for an angel's choir

Fitting for an angel's

Fitting for an angel's

Fitting for an angel's choir

We slit them down the back and peppered them good

And doused them in melted butter

Then we tore away the claws and cracked them with our teeth

'Cause we weren't in the mood to putter

Fitting for an angel's

Fitting for an angel's

Fitting for an angel's choir

Then at last come the clams

Steamed under rock w**d and popping from their shells

Just how many of them galloped down our gullets

We couldn't say ourselves oh

This was a real nice clambake

We're mighty glad we came

The vittles we et

Were good you bet

The company was the same

Our hearts are warm our bellies are full

And we are feeling prime

This was a real nice clambake

And we all had a real good time

We said it afore and we'll say it again

We all had a real good time
