A tropical storm, extreme wind, killer waves
Mother Nature can’t compete with
The attention that you crave
Tried fishin’ on the dock, girl
Just tryin’ to get away
I tried to find a way to hide, girl
Inside of my man-cave
You’re a hard-headed, crabby woman
And you’re always boiling mad
Yeah, you’re always snapping at my heels
You got a really tough shell to crack
Quit your crabbin’, woman
You complain every night and day
Quit your crabbin’, woman
Or I’ll throw you in the old bay
I’ll throw you in the old bay
All this bitchin’ and complainin’
This time you’ve gone too far
And now you’ve driven me to drinking
Down at the Tiki bar
It’s like I’m walking on crab shells
Each time that I come home
All I hear is the sound of your yell
And my heart just turns to stone
Seems like you’re always steppin’ sideways
With your claws raised, ready to snap
Now you’re picking me to pieces, girl
And I just can’t get out of this trap
Quit your crabbin’, woman
Now, you complain every night and day
Quit your crabbin’, woman
Or I’ll throw you in the old bay
Yes, I’ll throw you in the old bay
Oh, babe, you’re just so shellfish
And when I try to leave, you pull me down
You never let go when you grab hold
Girl, you’ve really come unwound
It’s a futile fight for survival
There’s no winner here, we both lose
And like crabs in a bucket
There’s just no end to the abuse
Despite your nasty temper
All I’ve ever done is work and toil
But things are finally gonna change here
And the water’s on the boil
Life can be a beach, guys
And you’ve got to watch for crabs
At first they jump into your dreamboat
And then they start to grab
And then the claws just start to squeezin’
And then the pressure begins to crush
No, it’s not really for the faint of heart
And it just gets to be too much
If you got a crabby woman
And she complains every night and day
If you got a crabby woman
Why not throw her in the old bay
Just throw her in the old bay
I said now, quit your crabbin’, woman
Now, you complain every night and day
Quit your crabbin’, woman
Or I’ll throw you in the old bay
Yes, I’ll throw you in the old bay
Aggravation, frustration
Need a vacation from a crustacean
Aggravation, frustration
Need a vacation from a crustacean
Quit your crabbin’, woman
You complain every night and day
Quit your crabbin’, woman
Or I’ll throw you in the old bay
Yes, I will
I’ll throw you in the old bay
I’ll throw you in the old bay
