Crabs Walk Sideways

Crabs Walk Sideways - The Wayfarers

Herman met Sally on the beach one night

The sea was calm and the starfish were bright

She looked at him and he looked at her

It was true love at first sight

Well Herman told his folks about

The girl that he found

They said

Herman there must be other girls around

'Cause crabs walk

Sideways

And lobsters walk straight

We won't to let you take her for

Your mate

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight

And you can't take a crab for your mate

Well Herman told his Sally

And it broke her heart

She loved that lobster right from the start

He took her in his claws

And said I'll always be yours

But still dear we'll have to part

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight

And you can't take a crab for your mate

She said let me talk to

Your mom and dad

I'll show them crabs really aren't that bad

But they turned her away

What will the neighbors say

And they laugh

At the funny walk she had

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight

And you can't take a crab for your mate

Then one day on the sandbar

What did Herman see

But his little old Sally

Walking straight as can be

He said sweetheart now

They'll take you in my family

She said don't you sweetheart me hic

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight

And you can't take a crab for your mate

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight

And you can't take a crab for your mate
