[Verse] Maurice the mussel He took to the ocean Got caught in a net And shipped to a shop [Verse] Bought by a woman And taken back home She cleaned him and washed him For the boiling pot [Chorus] Oh Maurice the mussel Oh Maurice the mussel He slipped from her hands And went into the sink The overflow pipe The last place you'd think [Verse] He was retrieved a few days later From the Belfast sink Near some old bar of soap And the dish brush [Verse] He was hard as a rock In a hard little shell And there was nothing in there For the coroner's lunch [Chorus] Oh Maurice the mussel Oh Maurice the mussel The tide came in And the tide went out But Maurice the mussel Was left high and dry [Bridge] But we have to admit It's a fair way to go If you've spent your whole life In the undertow
