Based off Alden Chew's version as seen on Jocopedia. I have transposed it from the original version to be
played without a capo. If you want to use a capo, put it on the 3rd fret and transpose chords using the sidebar.
[Intro Riff]
Bb Bbsus4 x4
[Verse]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
When I was a young boy I'd follow the path
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
Down past the dunes to the sea
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
There on the warm sandy beaches we'd lie
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
The furry old lobsters and me
D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4
They'd whistle and squeal as they ran through the waves
D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4
So sleek, so furry and fair
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
But now when I go down to see my old friends
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
The beaches are empty and bare
[Chorus]
Bb F D# Bb
Sing hey hidey ho, where'd the old lobster go?
Bb D# F
And his body so furry and brown?
D# F Gm C7
Sing ho hidey hey, have they all gone away?
D# F Bb
For we haven't seen many around
[Intro Riff]
[Verse]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
New York sends a monster to darken our seas
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
Cursed be the day that it came
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
They are ugly and small and not tasty at all
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
They are lobsters in nothing but name
D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4
They don't smash open clams on their bellies with stones
D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4
They have neither whiskers nor paws
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
And the furry old lobster's so easily crushed
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
In the grip of their terrible claws
[Chorus]
Bb F D# Bb
Sing hey hidey ho, where'd the old lobster go?
Bb D# F
And his body so furry and brown?
D# F Gm C7
Sing ho hidey hey, have they all gone away?
D# F Bb Gm
For we haven't seen many around
D# F Bb Gm
No, we haven't seen many around
D# F Bb
No, we haven't seen many around
