lyrics

(Hey there Fiddler Crab, How’s the sand?) Yee haw!
(I see you crawling over there) You see me comin?

Chorus
I’m a fiddler– I’m a fiddler crab (repeat)

V1
They say when I’m eating it looks like I’m playing my big claw like a fiddle (sure does)
I shove sand in my mouth and sift through it like play-dough, hear me giggle
I get whatever food I can from this plan and then I spit out the sand in a ball
I get my name from my asymmetric claws – one is real phat the other one small

Chorus -- Crawlin through the sand

V2
I use my big claw to attract the ladies (there he is!!) ha ha, wherever I crawl
I’m trolling the mangroves, the marshes of salt & muddy beaches and all (he’s so cute!)
If I lose my oversized claw in a fight with an over zealous, jealous crab (don’t hurt him)
I’ll just grow one back and even tho’ it‘s a fake, I can still be all that, Cuz I’m a fiddler

Chorus
-- I’m gonna come & getcha -- with my big claw.
I’m just playin. I ain’t gonna nip at your ankles or nothing. Break it down for me fellas.

Yee haw! That’s my cousin on violin. Actually, it’s a fiddle, ha ha!

V3
Some call it deception but it’s survival of the fittest out here in these sandy coves
Am I the only one in the animal kingdom to deceive them like this in droves?
We’re taking a cue from the human crew, who knew? They bluff & lie all the time
I’m not saying it’s right, but this evolutionary trait has kept me alive many times,
all right? Cuz I’m a fiddler

Chorus
-- Why don’t you come say hi sometime? We’ll have a nice buffet.
Maybe have some crab legs, NO WAY! Don’t bring the melted butter!

Chorus -- Crawlin through the sand
