This french song popped in my head when I see a crab !

https://piped.video/watch?v=GA6kUBPc-s8

Translated lyrics:

I found him in my sock, he was all alone, he was lost I was lying ugly in the sand, watching the beautiful and bronzed ones And then there, in my sock, I saw him and thought, ah He's beautiful, he's beautiful, the crabby one, he has legs That stretch and big golden eyes, ask me: Hey guys, what did I do with him, what did you do with him? I took him, brought him home, and there I showed him and said:

Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, let me introduce you to my pocket crab From my home in the city to the office and in my leisure time I put a jacket on him, taught him tricks, make him look good He was showing off on his pincer scales, scales, scales

A painted straightjacket in yellow and blue, he was the most beautiful of Crabs, so much sky inside, I kept him in my pocket Didn't want to show him, but you know when I had Guests, I couldn't resist, I took him out and shouted

Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, let me introduce you to my pocket crab But yesterday, a spell, he turned into a water tiger Abracadabra, a cat's head and a barracuda's body, no more legs, no More pincers, he ate oxen and searched for the watery middle, I bled him With blows of a rod, couldn't keep him anymore, couldn't put him In my jacket, my woolen jacket, big sad sadness, I cried I cried, I cried because I couldn't shout anymore

Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, let me introduce you to my pocket crab
