I wake up and run out into the hall,
I’m going crabbing today! I loudly call,
I get dressed in a hurry to run out the door,
It’s awfully early, quarter to four!

We reach the pier; I’m the first to be there,
At the Bay, I take a moment to stare,
We drop the trap, it hits with a plop,
I want to be here forever, I hope time will stop!

We pull the soggy trap back to the dock,
We caught a few crabs, yeah, we rock!
As you can see, crabbing is tons of fun,
So get out there and enjoy the warm summer sun
