There was an oyster
Who wouldn't come out from his shell
And a pretty girl came
Tapped him against a rock to show him the world
The sky was grey
Yet the little oyster didn't hide again
Oyster asked the girl
Would she take his pearl
Please don't throw it away, hold it by your heart
So that even when we part
I can still be with you
He saw it reflected in her eyes, glistening blue
Why of course little oyster
I'll be more than happy to
Little oyster could hear the waves ebbing and crashing far away
He'd been out of the water far too long
He had nothing more to say
So those were his final words
Goodnight little oyster, said the girl
Yet the sky remained quite pale
As she left, a seagull came and swallowed the oyster whole
Yet she and the seagull didn't feel quite full
