[Verse 1] I met her down on the creaking pier Apron stained and her cheeks all red She said “Boy You look a little hollow here” And she set her steaming bowl and bread One little taste and my knees gave way Thick and hot and so divine She smiled slow Said “You can lick that spoon But the real good stuff’s still mine” [Chorus] So roll me in the chowder Honey Fill me to the brim Let me slurp those clams all night Till the lanterns all grow dim Dip me in that creamy ocean Hold me while I drown Oh Roll me in the chowder Love And drag this sailor down [Verse 2] She shucked one open with a wicked grin Juice ran warm on her working hand “Care for a taste right from the shell?” she asked “I like a man who can really stand The brine The heat The heavy spoon The way it coats your tongue” She tipped it slow at my waiting lips I swear I bit my own damn lung (oh lord) [Chorus] So roll me in the chowder Honey Fill me to the brim Let me slurp those clams all night Till the lanterns all grow dim Dip me in that creamy ocean Hold me while I drown Oh Roll me in the chowder Love And drag this sailor down [Bridge] She whispered “Don’t you rush that bite Savor every little drop I’ve got a pot that never cools Once you start You never stop” She took my hand to the kitchen door Where the air was thick and warm Said “I can serve it any style you crave Cup or bowl or straight from the storm” [Chorus] So roll me in the chowder Honey Fill me to the brim Let me slurp those clams all night Till the lanterns all grow dim Dip me in that creamy ocean Hold me while I drown Oh Roll me in the chowder Love And drag this sailor down [Outro] Now every port I skip the ale And hunt that harbor flame I only thirst for her steaming pot And the clams that know my name (hey!) Roll me in the chowder Honey I’ll never be the same
