Lyrics

Verse 1:
Oh boy, look at the sand crab
He?s using his hind legs to dig out a hole
?Oh, oh! what?s Crabby doing??
?Hmm! seems like he?s rolling the sand into a sand ball?

Verse 2:
Wow, look out, here comes the sand crab
He?s holding a sand ball, the one he just rolled
?Oh! oh! watch out, he?s holding that sand ball above his head?
?He?s going to throw it?

Chorus 1:
He lobs the sand ball at an innocent crab
With a smile on his face, says ??Hey, don?t be mad?
Then runs to his hole and slides down
?Til he?s gone, gone, gone, gone?

Verse 3:
The sand crab pops up from his hole and...
Gets hit in the head with a flying sand ball
?Oh, serves him right, he?s getting a taste of his own medicine?
?He looks dizzy?

Verse 4:
Just then, hundreds of sand crabs
Come out of their holes and join in a brawl
?That?s another fine mess he?s gotten us into?
?Yeah, that?s just typical?

Chorus 2
A hermit crab shouts, ?You?d better watch out
There?s thousands of sand balls flying about
Take cover, duck down, here comes one now
Look out, look out, look out, look out?

Chorus 3:
The tide?s rushing in, the sand crabs all hide
We?ll see them again when it?s low tide
They vanished into their holes
They are gone, gone, gone, gone...
