Did you hear the one about the lobster and the crab that fell in love?
Boy lobster and a girl crab meet and fall deeply in love. However, her parents talk her out of it.
"How will your children walk? Will the kids walk sideways
like they should
or straight and forward like a lobster?"
So, after pondering this, she breaks up with the lobster.
The poor lobster took it very hard.
Then, one day, she sees him walking down the street sideways!
"You learned to walk sideways!!!! I love you!" she says.
Lobster says, "Get away from me. Can't you see that I'm drunk?!"
The Smothers Brothers did that as a song on their TV show back in the day.
CRABS WALK SIDEWAYS
The Smothers Brothers
Herman met Sally on the beach one night,
The sea was calm and the starfish were bright.
She looked at him and he looked at her it was true love at
first sight.
Well, Herman told his folks about the girl that he found,
They said,
"Herman there must be other girls around. 'Cause crabs walk
sideways,
lobsters walk straight and We won't let you take her for
your mate."
Chorus:
Crabs walk sideways and lobsters welk straight,
And you can't take a crab for your mate.
Well, Herman told his Sally and it broke her heart
She loved that lobster right from the start
He took her in his claws and said "I'll always be yours,
But still, dear, we'll have to part."
Chorus:
She said, "Let me talk to your mom and dad,
I'll show them crabs really aren't that bad."
But they turned her away
"What will the neighbors say."
And they laughted at the funny walk she had.
Chorus:
Then one day on the sandbar what did Herman see,
But his little ol' Sally walking straight as can be.
He said, "Sweetheart now they'll take you in the family!"
She said, "Don't you sweetheart me! Hic!"
Chorus:
TY, George. I remember the S-B show very well. Clearly what you entered was the source of this joke someone sent to me. Good job!
