lyrics

The 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.

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.

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.

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
