How’d ya like to watch red crabs cross Christmas Island
How’d ya like to catch a sight of them emerging from the sea?
How’d ya like to watch red crabs cross Christmas Island?
How’d ya like to see a coconut crab in a coconut tree?
Check out those the crustaceans as they migrate along
Hear their claws as they scratch, scuttle and pinch
As they sing out their song?
They number in the millions on Christmas Island
They can live on land or water but this island is where they belong
We number in the millions on Christmas Island
We can live on land or water but this island is where we belong
How’d ya like to watch a coconut crab crush a bone like a twig
They can weigh up to nine pounds, and eat a whole pig
If you ever watch crabs spawn on Christmas Island
You will never stay there anymore
Because coconut crabs are big
