Green side up
Knife goes in
Cut it clean
Top shell off
Thumb on guts
One smooth swipe
Next the meat
Sweet delight

Eye in air
Mystic tale
Scallop king
Holy grail
Bloaters swell
Beans all night
Shuckers wage
The endless fight

Buckets build
Baskets shrink
Beers are drunk
Shells mound up
On and on
Scallops make
Winter’s business
Winter’s stake

Eye in air
Mystic tale
Scallop king
Holy grail
Hinky, Mark, Tommy too

The best of them
The best of you
 

Cut em clean
It all adds up
Money’s made
In every cup
And pint
And pound
And gallon too
The more you make
The more you do
