The Crabfish
"The Crabfish" is a ribald humorous folk song of the English oral tradition. It dates back to the seventeenth century, appearing in Bishop Percy's Folio Manuscript as a song named "The Sea Crabb" based on an earlier tale.〔''Bishop Percy's folio manuscript: loose and humorous songs'' ed. Frederick J. Furnivall. London, 1868〕 It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 149. The moral of the story is that one should look in the chamber pot before using it.
Owing to the indelicate nature of its theme this ballad was intentionally excluded from Francis James Child's renowned compilation of folk songs ''The English and Scottish Popular Ballads''.〔(Lyr Req: Mr Radalum? / Raddle-um / Crabfish etc. )〕
==Synopsis==
A man brings a crabfish (most likely a common lobster) home as a gift for his wife and puts it in the chamber pot. Some time in the night his wife answers a call of nature and the crustacean grabs her private parts. In the ensuing scuffle the husband gets bitten too.〔(Memorial University Folklore Archive Song Title Index – The Crabfish )〕
