My home town was bathed in evening sun
Folks were all outside having fun
I took my baby for a ride
Down through Main Street, out by the East Side
We slowed and stopped at a red light
Waved and greeted Mr and Mrs Arkwright
Then a giant lobster's claw came crashing down
Snatched my baby and scuttled off across town
(CHORUS)
That lobster is my enemy
It stole my love away from me
I'll track it down, I'll smash its shell
I'll send it straight to lobster hell
I'll track it down
I'll smash its shell
I'll send it straight to lobster hell
I scrutinise the details of my life
Why did I deserve to lose my wife?
What streak of bad, what fundamental flaw
Merited the giant lobster's claw?
In a town like ours there's lots that's out of sight
Lyin', cheatin', hurtin' in the night
A tower of sin that's like a lightning rod
Pulls down a bolt of punishment from God
That lobster is my enemy
(etc.)
Now all you guys who are out for a ride
With your beautiful lady by your side
Don't feel too safe and smug in your home town
YOUR giant lobster's claw might come crashing down
Where did it go, where is its lair?
It took my wife and vanished in thin air
Is she dead or, maybe worse, alive?
Captive queen of the giant lobster's hive
