Caviar (Virgin Sturgeon) Song from "In Our Cups"
Caviar
(Virgin Sturgeon) as sung by “In Our Cups” on their CD “Foolish Pleasures”
(This song is sung with a sort of reggae beat. The one girl keeps up this
rhythm throughout the song.)
Opening rhythm:
Bum… bum bum. Ba dum bum bum
Bum .. bum bum.. ba dum bum bum
Repeat once; then
song starts, with this rhythm continuing. Song opens with the Chorus:
Caviar comes
from a virgin sturgeon,
Virgin
Sturgeon is a very good fish.
No good
Sturgeon wants to be a virgin,
That’s why
Caviar is a very rare dish.
Verse 1:
Shad row comes from a Scarlet
Shad Fish.
Shad fish have a very sad fate,
A pregnant Shad fish is a sad
fish,
Gets that way without a mate.
Chorus:
Verse 2:
Mrs Clam is optimistic
Shoots her eggs out in the sea
Hopes her suitor is a shooter
Hits the self same spot as she.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Green Sea Turtles mate is happy
With her lovers winning ways
First he grips her with his
flippers
Then they flip for days and
days.
Chorus:
Verse 4:
Oysters a prolific Bivalve
Keeps its inards in its shell
How they diddle is a riddle
But they do so what the hell.
Chorus:
Verse 5:
The Trout is just a little
Salmon
Just half grown and minus scales
But the trout just like the
salmon
Can’t get it off without his
tail.
Chorus:
Verse 6:
Give a thought to the Happy Cod
Fish,
Always there when duty calls.
Female Cod Fish is an Odd Fish
From her come those Cod Fish
Balls.
Chorus:
Verse 7:
Mrs Crabs a sad Crustacean,
Once she has become a wife
In her den she can lay eggs plenty
But mates, just one time in her
life.
Chorus:
Verse 8:
Think about the humble Ludefisk
It’s just Cod that’s soaked in
Lye
All the poor way up in Norway
eat it
And we don’t ask why.
Chorus:
Verse 9:
Whales come in all shapes and
sizes,
Blue and white, humpbacked and
sperm
What their doin’ when their woo’in’
Always seems to make her squirm.
Chorus:
Verse 10:
Every living creature does it
Without making lots of fuss
When they do it, they don’t rue
it,
So, my darlin’, why not us.
Chorus:
Caviar comes
from a virgin sturgeon,
Virgin
Sturgeon is a very good fish.
No good
Sturgeon wants to be a virgin,
That’s why
Caviar is a very rare dish.
Repeat last line of Chorus.
