Crab Man Lyrics

CRAB MAN
I'm talkin' about devil crabs
1'm talkin' about devil
crabs
I'm talkin' about de food I sells

She crab, she
crab.

PORGY
On yo' way, brother.

CRAB MAN
Devil
crab!

MARIA
Hey, crab man!

CRAB MAN
I'm talkin' about de
food I sells
When I done talkin' about de food I sells
Talkin' about
devil crab.
(Maria picks crab, counts out money, pays Crab mon,
who then
leaves.)
Now I's talkin' about yo' pocketbook
I'm talkin' about devil
crabs, she crab, she crab,
Devil crab, I'm talkin' about de food I
sells.
(Bell chimes five times. - Looks at Porgy)
