Crabs On Me
R&B with dubstep drops and light guitar strums, mid-tempo with swung drums and elastic sub hits; verse rides sparse guitar, warm bass, and intimate close-mic vocals, pre-chorus adds filtered risers and stacked harmonies, chorus opens with chopped vocal hooks and a heavier wobble bass pulse. Bridge strips to guitar and breathy ad-libs, then final chorus lands with fuller bass, handclaps, and playful gang echoes. Bright, glossy, intimate mix with crisp low end and airy top., dubstep, light, low

Lyrics
Verse 1
Out at Ross Creek, Yeppoon heat
Family by the bank, bare feet
Tide ran low, I stepped in slow
Wanted deeper water, fish to show
I sat right down in the sun
Rod in hand, thought I’d won
My man was fishing further out
Laughing at the way I’d pout
Pre-Chorus
Bait on, cast on
Then it kept going wrong
One little crab
Then another one
Chorus
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
You could not believe
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
Hanging off my knees
(Off my dress)
(Off my top)
Crabs on me
Verse 2
I kept baiting, kept my cool
Pulling up more from the pool
One would latch, then slip away
Right before it made my day
Then something pinched me, I stood fast
Looked down quick, and laughed at last
About twenty crabs, all packed in tight
On my clothes in broad daylight
Pre-Chorus
Bait on, cast on
But they were coming on strong
One little crab
Then another one
Chorus
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
You could not believe
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
Hanging off my knees
(Off my dress)
(Off my top)
Crabs on me
Bridge
He was bent over, losing it
Could not stop, not one bit
I held my breath, then he came through
Pulled them off one by one for me and you
Heavy little hands on cloth
I was stuck, and he was off
Then we both just shook our heads
At the day that left us dead
Final Chorus
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
You could not believe
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
Hanging off my knees
(Off my dress)
(Off my top)
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
One trip, one story
Crabs on me
Crabs on me
Laughing in the glory
(I’ll never forget)
(I’ll never forget)
Crabs on me
