Till "One day on a sandbar"

Herman met Sally on the beach one night.
The sea was calm and the starfish were bright.
He looked at her and she looked at him,
and it was true love at first sight.

Now Herman told his folks about the girl he'd found
and they said, "Herman, there must be other girls around,
'cause crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight,
and we won't let you take her for your mate."

Herman told Sally and it broke her heart.
She had loved that lobster right from the start.
He held her in his claws and said I'll always be yours,
but still, we really have to part.

Sally said, "Let's talk to your mom and your dad.
I'll show them that crabs really aren't that bad."
They turned her away.  What would the neighbors say?
And they laughed at the funny walk she had.

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight,
and we won't let you take her for your mate."
"everyone"...
"Once again gang"...
"One more time now"...

One day on a sandbar what did Herman see,
it was his little ol' Sally walking straight as can be.
He said, "Sally, I can take you in my family,"
and she said, "Herman, don't you sweet heart me (hiccup)."

'cause crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight,
and we won't let you take her for your mate.
