The best crab
If I may throw two hats in the ring:

Coconut crab
They're technically giant hermit crabs, but a lot of things aren't true crabs.

The best crab
Welcome to the ocean
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
We've got mountains of critters
Some better, some worse
If none of them can interest you, then you'd be the first
Welcome to the beach now
Come and see a crab
Would you like to see a ghost or any sort of arthropod?
There's no need to panic
This isn't a test, haha
Just nod or shake your head and we'll get the crabs
Welcome to the deep plains
What would you prefer?
Would you like to behold big-ass crabs or see something smaller?
They’re happy
They’re gloomy
They’re bursting with rage
They’ve got a million different ways to evolve
Welcome to the jungle
Yes there’s crabs here too
Here's a fun little orange guy
Here's a bastard who kills birds
We got red crabs, and big crabs, and vampires too
And a bunch of colored pencil drawings
All of them did of each other it’s actually really cute
Welcome to the desert
Crabs are everywhere
Fiddlers and Australians and there are more I’m sure
They’re covered in sandy grains
And here are some more
Don't act surprised, these things are just everywhere
See a gull beheaded
Get offended, see a crab
Show them pictures of your critters
Tell them every thought you think
Start a rumor, buy a blue
Or send a cook threat to a lobster
Or take photos of a crab and witness
Do a quest or find another in your
Here's a healthy breakfast option
You should save a crab
Here's why carcinization’s awesome

Which crustacean are you?
Take this quirky quiz
The crabs sent sent all the coconuts to check on your defense
Could I interest you in every crab?
All of the time?
A little bit of every crab
All of the time
Apathy's a tragedy
And lack of crab’s is a crime
Any crab and every crab
All of the time
Could I interest you in every crab?
All of the time?
A little bit of every crab
All of the time
Apathy's a tragedy
And you should buy more crabs
Any crab and every crab
All of the time
You know, it wasn't always like this
Not very long ago
Just before your time
Right before the End-Triassic, 200 mya
This was trilobites
Random fish
Isopod or two
We set our sights and spent our nights
Waiting
For Crabs, crabs, insatiable crabs
Someone let them get evolving
There once were just so few
And they did all the things
We designed them to do
Now look at crabs, oh
Look at crabs, crabs, crabs
Unstoppable, watchable
Their time is now
Their outside’s shell
Goodness, how they grew
And if crabs stick together
Who knows what they’ll do
It was always the plan
To put the world in their claws
Hahaha
Could I interest you in every crab?

Any crab and every crab
And any crab and every crab
And any crab and every crab
And crabs all the time

Not sure whether to be filled with awe, dread, or amusement. Perhaps a balance shall suffice.
