Furry Old Lobster

Lyrics

When I was a young boy, I'd follow the path
 Down past the dunes to the sea
 And there on the warm sandy beaches we'd lie
 The furry old lobsters and me
 They'd whistle and squeal as they ran through the waves
 So sleek, so furry and fair
 But now when I go down to see my old friends
 The beaches are empty and bare
 Sing hey-hidey-ho, where'd the old lobster go?
 And his body so furry and brown?
 Sing ho-hidey-hey, have they all gone away?
 For we haven't seen many around
 ♪
 New York sends a monster to darken our seas
 Cursed be the day that it came
 They are ugly and small and not tasty at all
 They are lobsters in nothing but name
 They don't smash open clams on their bellies with stones
 They have neither whiskers nor paws
 And the furry old lobster's so easily crushed
 In the grip of their terrible claws
 Sing hey-hidey-ho, where'd the old lobster go?
 And his body so furry and brown?
 Sing ho-hidey-hey, have they all gone away?
 For we haven't seen many around
 No, we haven't seen many around
 No, we haven't seen many around
