Land Hermit Crab

If you see a shell moving on the shore
It might not be the gastropod you take it for
The land hermit crab has a very weak shell
So it lives in a shell where a snail used to dwell
(lives in a shell where a snail used to dwell)

When it sheds its exoskeleton
It takes a few days for it to feel well again
During that time it needs personal space
So try not to get in its face
(try not to get in its face)

Land hermit crab, land hermit crab
It’s found in the Florida Keys
Land hermit crab, land hermit crab
Lives alone or gregariously

Two of its legs are chelipeds
Or pincers located next to its head
The next four it uses to walk around
And the last four hold it in its house
(last four hold it in its house)

Land hermit crab, land hermit crab
Although it originates in the sea
Land hermit crab, land hermit crab
Breathes air just like you and me

Land hermit crab, land hermit crab
All together everybody sing
Land hermit crab, land hermit crab
All hail this crustacean king

On such occasions you might hear the plaintive cry of Sam’s tuba, the mournful crow of Dean’s ukulele, the excited jazzy croaking of Bob’s piano or the purr of Matty’s drums. ... more
