Lyrics
The Lobster
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a lobster I can swim
And can grow another limb
Where a powerless stump you saw
I have grown a powerful claw
When you'd thought me safely drowned
In the depths I swim around
Dither when you do descend
With my claw I'll tear you, friend
