Lyrics Furry Old Lobster - Jonathan Coulton
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
