Frock lobster
Rock lobster
Here comes a big killer whale!
Here comes a bikini whale!
It wasn't Iraq.
Was Iraq's lobster!
It wasn't a rock.
It was a rock lobster!
It wasn't a blob
It wasn't a rock
It wasn't a flock
It wasn't a rock
Look out for the killer whale!
Here comes a bikini whale!
Pass the Satanic butter.
Pass the tanning butter.
Pissin' on the fire, having fun.
Twistin' 'round the fire, havin' fun
Punk rock style
Rock lobster
Put on your nose-guard!
Put on the Right-Guard!
Put on your nose-guard
Put on the lifeguard.
Rock monster
Rock lobster
Sea was a setting!
Dolphins wetting!
Seahorses sailing!
Dolphins wailing!
Somebody went under a jar.
Somebody went under a dock.
Somebody wiped under a dog.
Somebody went under a dock.
That monster!
Rock lobster!
That's Satanic butter!
Pass the tanning butter.
Garry Mullholland in his book 'This is Uncool' thought he heard the same wrong lyric, so it must be a British thing.
The Satanic butter
Pass the tanning butter
There they saw Iraq.
There they saw a rock.

We were at a party
Did you hear about Bella McGee?
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached into their privates
It was a rock lobster
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster.
We were at a party
Thrown by Fibber McGee.
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep.
'Fibber McGee and Molly' was a situation comedy radio show that was broadcast from 1935-1959 on the National Broadcasting Company, and can still be heard today on various local stations broadcasting old-time radio programs. The show was known for its Vaudeville humor and Midwestern flavor. The action revolved mainly around Fibber and Molly McGee. Their friends and neighbors would visit the McGees' home and discuss events of the day, or join in on whatever the McGees were doing.
We were at a party
To hear old fellow McGee.
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep.
