Crab Jubilee         

Crab Jubilee! Crab Jubilee!
Crabs look so happy, so fancy and free!
So graceful, so tasteful, So glad to be
part of a wonderful Crab Jubilee!
The crabs come a dancin' Up onto the land! They merrily waltz right into your pan!
It's a joyous occasion. Something to see
The crabs celebrating the Crab Jubilee!

Chorus
Crab Jubilee! Crab Jubilee!
Sounds like death and dyin' to me!
The oxygen's used, decomposing algae.
So we can flee or die, that's Crab Jubilee!

My buddies, the oysters cement themselves down.
They're not built for moving around.
So like all the critters
that cannot swim far,
When the oxygen drops,
They die right where they are.

So when the crabs leave the water,
you know somethin's wrong !?
We'd much rather stay down
where we belong.
So when life underwater can't be sustained.....
Then we sadly depart as we sing this refrain.

Chorus

Water contains dissolved oxygen
down here we breathe
through our gills as we swim
down in the mud under the bay
bacteria decompose things every day
then the oxygen drops, OH NO !
most of life stops, OH NO !
anoxia, OH NO
where did the oxygen all go ?

Crab jubilee! Crab Jubilee
It sounds like death and dying to m.e
It isn't a party. There's no cause for glee.
It's sad to be part of a crab jubilee.
Ye,s I hope there's no more crab jubilee.
