[2018 Broadway Cast of Carousel, Renée Fleming, Jessie Mueller, Alexander Gemignani, Lindsay Mendez - This Was a Real Nice Clambake lyrics]
We're mighty glad we came the vittles we et
Were good, you bet the company was the same
Our hearts are warm, our bellies are full
And we are feeling prime
This was a real nice clambake
And we all had a real good time
Fust come codfish chowder
Cooked in iron kettles
Onions floating on the top
Curlin' up in pettals
Throw'd in ribbons of salted pork
An old New England trick
And lapped it all up with a clamshell
Tied onto a bayberry stick
Oh, this was a real nice clambake
We're mighty glad we came the vittles we et
Were good, you bet the company was the same
Our hearts are warm, our bellies are full
And we are feeling prime
This was a real nice clambake
And we all had a real good time
Remember when we raked them red hot lobsters
Out of the driftwood fire?
They sizzled and crackled and
Sputtered a song
Fittin' for an angels' choir
Fittin' for an angels fittin' for an angels
Fittin' for an angels choir
We slit 'em down the back
And peppered 'em good
And doused 'em in melted butter
Then we tore away the claws and
Cracked 'em with our teeth
Cuz we weren't in the mood to putter
Fittin' for an angels fittin' for an angels
Fittin' for an angels choir
Then at last come the clams
Steamed under rockweed and poppin'
From their shells
Just how many of 'em
Galloped down our gullets
We couldn't say ourselves, oh
This was a real nice clambake
We're mighty glad we came the vittles we et
Were good, you bet the company was the same
Our hearts are warm, our bellies are full
And we are feeling prime
This was a real nice clambake
And we all had a real good time
We said it 'afore and we'll say it again
We all had a real good time!
