Verse
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
When I was a young boy I'd follow the path
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
Down past the dunes to the sea
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
There on the warm sandy beaches we'd lie
BbBbsus4BBbsus4
The furry old lobsters and me
D#D#sus4D#D#sus4
They'd whistle and squeal as they ran through the waves
D#D#sus4D#D#sus4
So sleek, so furry and fair
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
But now when I go down to see my old friends
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
The beaches are empty and bare
Chorus
BbFD#Bb
Sing hey hidey ho, where'd the old lobster go?
BbD#F
And his body so furry and brown?
D#FGmC7
Sing ho hidey hey, have they all gone away?
D#FBb
For we haven't seen many around

Verse
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
New York sends a monster to darken our seas
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
Cursed be the day that it came
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
They are ugly and small and not tasty at all
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
They are lobsters in nothing but name
D#D#sus4D#D#sus4
They don't smash open clams on their bellies with stones
D#D#sus4D#D#sus4
They have neither whiskers nor paws
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
And the furry old lobster's so easily crushed
BbBbsus4BbBbsus4
In the grip of their terrible claws
Chorus
