You just drop it down below into the briny deep
Don’t forget you gotta use some really stinky meat
You can use a star or one of hoop and net
Either way you pull it up, the same thing’s what you’ll get

Crab Pot, it’s a simple contraption
Crab Pot, to get some red claw action
Crab Pot, it’s my favorite thing
Crab Pot, use a rope and not a string

The crab he has two claws that can really, really pinch
You know that they taste best when they measure about six inch
Some people only like them when there made up into cakes
Anyway they’re fun to catch, I never hesitate

Crab Pot, it’s a simple contraption
Crab Pot, to get some red claw action
Crab Pot, it’s my favorite thing
Crab Pot, use a rope and not a string

I like to boil my crab up with a little bit of salt
Melt up a pound of butter, if it spills its not my fault
Use a little garlic if you go in for that
You can substitute margarine if you don’t want a lot of fat

Crab Pot, it’s just a simple contraption
Crab Pot, to get some red claw action
Crab Pot, it’s my favorite thing
Crab Pot, use a rope and not a string
