Billy B. - The Natural Science Song and Dance Man

Around the world there are crabs
of every size and type with big claws to grab
whatever’s in sight. And when they grow
out of their old shell, their new shell is soft.
They hide for a spell, get hard and take off…

CH0RUS
Doing the crab step on land or in the depths,
moving sideways to get where they get.
If danger appears, they try to hide,
but if they can’t, they’ll face it
with their CIaws open wide, open wide.

Go to the salt marsh, and you will find
crabs all around in the grassy brine
and the mud underground. And if you get close,
the crab will spot you with his extended eyes.
then he’ll start to move as you realize that he’s…

Chorus

Doing the crab step on land or in the depths,
moving sideways to get where he gets
because the joints of his legs point to the side.
And if danger appears, his claws open wide,
open wide.
