The Lyrics
Is this the work of a mad man?
If you're hungry, for a course
If seafood's what you like, why then dine like horse
Eat out tonight. With ones you love
Your friends would love to come
Pinch a wedge[lemon] over buttered lobster
Go and have some fun
Pinch a wedge over buttered lobster
Go and have some fun
Where's your tail and claw?
Where's your baby's bib
If service comes too late
Friends will talk to you
They'll make the wait
When lobster comes
And plates go all around
Crack a claw over diner talkers
They wont mind the sound
Crack a claw over diner talkers
They wont mind the sound
Crack on connoisseurs
Snap in style
The brine is boiled to dine
All your friends have heaping plates
See how they pile
Listen to your friends
They're yapping all the while
Like good friends over boiled lobster
Watch them crack a smile
Like good friends over boiled lobster
Watch them crack a smile
If seafood's what you like, why then dine like horse
Eat out tonight. With ones you love
Your friends would love to come
Pinch a wedge[lemon] over buttered lobster
Go and have some fun
Pinch a wedge over buttered lobster
Go and have some fun
Where's your tail and claw?
Where's your baby's bib
If service comes too late
Friends will talk to you
They'll make the wait
When lobster comes
And plates go all around
Crack a claw over diner talkers
They wont mind the sound
Crack a claw over diner talkers
They wont mind the sound
Crack on connoisseurs
Snap in style
The brine is boiled to dine
All your friends have heaping plates
See how they pile
Listen to your friends
They're yapping all the while
Like good friends over boiled lobster
Watch them crack a smile
Like good friends over boiled lobster
Watch them crack a smile

LOB. Now how about one about a bridge-construction project that endangers lobster habitat: Bridge Over Troubled Lobsters?
cracked a smile just reading it
Very good Mr Mertens. Funny you chose lobsters over squirrels! Anyway I just wish to reiterate that I did NOT accuse you over 1-ing one of my parodies.
"Friends" over boiled lobster? Well, I see my wife Monica has invited you over to her restaurant. Please be there BY eight o'clock!
