about

From the play 'The Jovial Priest'.

lyrics

The Shrimp King
Words & music: J unningham

Buy some oysters from Harry Busby
Live every week from Yarmouth Town
He doesn’t have the stomach to be cheeky with the barmaids
His brother Bert is six feet down

Bert Busby sold whelks and winkles
He was known as the Shrimp King
Now that the King has gone to meet his maker
He won’t be selling anything

He went round the village with a wagon and a pony
You’d know him by the sound of his brass bell
Fish was laid out marvellous with parsley
Now he’s laid out just as well

Mr Seabrook, undertaker
Gave Mr Busby his final shave
And a sober regular funeral
So all his friends gave a goodbye wave,
A goodbye wave
A goodbye wave
Goodbye!
