Lissern people, don't eat lobsters,
You never know where they have been,
They have crawled underneath seas
And seen things that you've never seen
Lissern people, Don't eat lobsters,
You never know where they have been,
They've seen sharks having a laugh,
They've seen big squid Having fun
And they have learned from schools of mackerel,
Beneath the light of A watery sun.
Yes these crustaceans got deep emotions,
As they crawl on ocean floors.
Lobsters have codes, lobsters transmit,
Lobsters kiss with their strong, sharp claws.
So now people, don't eat real lobsters,
Just feast your eyes on the plastic lobsters,
Hanging from the Tudor beam
And let the real ones live contented,
Seeing things that you've never seen.
