Verse:
     G       C/G           G          C/G
When I was a young boy I'd follow the path
G             C/G          G   C/G
Down past the dunes to the sea
    G            C/G        G            C/G
And there on the warm sandy beaches we'd lie
    G         C/G          G  C/G
The furry old lobsters and me
       C           F              C               F
They'd whistle and squeal as they ran through the waves
   C      F            C    F
So sleek, so furry and fair
    G          C/G        G          C/G
But now when I go down to see my old friends
    G           C/G       G    C/G
The beaches are empty and bare

Chorus:
     G         D               Ctype2      G
Sing hey hidey ho, where'd the old lobster go?
        G       Ctype2    D
And his body so furry and brown?
     Ctype2   D              Em         A7
Sing ho hidey hey, have they all gone away?
       Ctype2       D     G
For we haven't seen many around

Intro

Verse:
New York sends a monster to darken our seas
Cursed be the day that it came
They are ugly and small and not tasty at all
They are lobsters in nothing but name
They don't smash open clams on their bellies with stones
They have neither whiskers nor paws
And the furry old lobster's so easily crushed
In the grip of their terrible claws

Chorus:
Sing hey hidey ho, where'd the old lobster go?
And his body so furry and brown?
Sing ho hidey hey, have they all gone away?
                                Em
For we haven't seen many around
       Ctype2       D    G      Em
For we haven't seen many around
       Ctype2       D    G      C/G G
For we haven't seen many around
