1) 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,
lobsters walk straight
and We won't let you take her for
your mate."
CHORUS:
Crabs walk sideways and lobsters welk straight,
And you can't take a crab for your mate.
2)
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."
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 laughted
at the funny walk she walked.
Chorus:
3) Then one day on the sandbar what did Herman see,
But his little
ol' Sally walking straight as can be.
He said, "Sweetheart now they'll take you in the family!"
She said, "Don't you
sweetheart me! Hic!"
Crabs walk sideways and lobsters welk straight,
And you can't take a crab for your mate.
