Crab in the Pot, Song in the Air

[Verse 1 – lead] Fellas on the ocean with our boots still full of sand Set up a little beach camp where the waves kiss the land Threw the nets out in the bay just to see what they’d bring home And we promised when the sun dropped We’d be singing in the foam [Verse 1 – background] (we’d be singing in the foam) [Chorus – all] Crab in the pot and a song in the air (song in the air!) I said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!) And the fellas raised a cheer out there Crab in the pot and a song in the air (song in the air!) Boil it hot, sing it strong (sing it strong!) Fellas on the ocean Gonna sing all night long (all night long) [Verse 2 – lead] Fire on the driftwood, and the moon hung low and wide Someone played a little rhythm on an old tin pail’s side Salt on our faces and laughter rolling loud And the nets kept tugging gently Like the bay joining the crowd [Verse 2 – background] (like the bay joining the crowd) [Chorus – all] Crab in the pot and a song in the air (song in the air!) I said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!) And the fellas raised a cheer out there Crab in the pot and a song in the air (song in the air!) Boil it hot, sing it strong (sing it strong!) Fellas on the ocean Gonna sing all night long (all night long) [Bridge – chant, printed four times] Pull that net! (pull that net!) Hear the ocean drum! (ocean drum!) Pull that net! (pull that net!) More good nights to come! (nights to come) [Final Chorus – all] Crab in the pot and a song in the air (song in the air!) I said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!) And the fellas raised a cheer out there Crab in the pot and a song in the air (song in the air!) Boil it hot, sing it strong (sing it strong!) Fellas on the ocean Gonna sing all night long (all night long)
