lyrics

I thought it was a joke when my mother said to me
"Don't drink do drugs or smoke" or The Crabbit you will see
When I turned seventeen I drank a bottle of red wine
I mixed it with ice-cream and my sick looked like pink slime

And then I saw The Crabbit, once I'd got the habit
I didn't stop to think, so I had another drink

He beckoned me inside, blowing bubbles in the air
I found a place to hide peering out under the stairs
With the head of a rabbit and the claws of an old crab
He wore a suit that did not fit, and then I called myself a cab

The cab came in a blink and he offered me a drink
I simply had to have it, but the driver, the driver was also The Crabbit!

The Crabbit's taxi swirled, all around the world
We sampled wines and whiskies fine complete with dancing girls
But as the booze did flow, I felt my weakness grow
The Crabbit purred "this could all be yours if you offer me your soul"
And then he turned around and locked into a sound
The car now still became a drill and drove into the ground
Now on the other side, my future life I spied
A toothless wreck, one bottle necked and by the bin I died

But life is very short, so let's live while we're young
For we're far longer in the dirt, it's time to have some fun!

But once you see The Crabbit you know you've got the habit
If you don't stop to think, you'll need another drink
Yes once you've seen The Crabbit you know you've got the habit
If you don't stop to think, you're gonna need to see a shrink
