The Lyrics

Whelk shells sell well for you,
Well, that's just fine.
When folks buy 'em, what do they do?
Leave 'em lyin'
On tables lyin'?

Whelk shells come in handy
For holding things down,
Such as mags with randy
Photographs that will help ban your frown.

Whelk shells can help keep you
From handlin' pine.

Don't dine!
You may rue,
Though, if you
Try to chew
On a few—they're not chow!
You're teeth won't fare
Well in whelk-shell feast
Eat neat treat now—
The meat, dweeb!

Whelk shells are hell to chew—
Adamantine.

Pirate Jack, ~Lord o'Shuck & Putt ~ perhaps it is time to head back to the harbor, & set your sails; eh, Sir Sweaty?
