the crab-fish - imogen holst lyrics

Loading...

there was a little man, and he had a little wife
and he loved her as much as he loved his life;
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day

one hour in the night, his wife grew sick
and all that she wanted was a little crab fish;
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day

so up he arose and put on his clothes
and down to the seaside he followed his nose;
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day

“o fisherman. o fisherman, can you tell me
have you a little crabfish you could sell to me?”
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day

“o yes, o yes. i have one two and three
and the best of them i will sell to thee.”
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day

so he caught him and bought him and put him in a dish
and he said “oh wife, put your nose to this.”
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
then his wife just to smell him popped up from her clothes
and the crabfish popped up and grabbed her by the nose;
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day

“oh help, dear husband; come hither, do you hear?”
but the crabfish had already grabbed him by the ear;
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day

and so my friends, if for a crabfish you thirst;
please try to remember to cook him first
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
mash a row dow dow dow diddle all the day
