C 
 (G major) beaches we'd  (C major) lie
G 
C 
G 
The  (G major) furry old  (C major) lobsters and  (G major) me
C 
They'd  (C major) whistle and squeal
as they ran through the waves
So sleek, so furry and fair
G 
C 
But  (G major) now when I  (C major) go down
G 
C 
to  (G major) see my old  (C major) friends
G 
The  (G major) beaches are empty and bare

Cursed be the  (C major) day that it  (G major) came

on their bellies with stones
They have neither whiskers nor paws
G 
And the  (G major) furry old lobster's
so easily crushed
In the grip of their terrible claws
