Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini
Recording & Mixing by Ben Visini

All artwork by Ray Savord
My masterpiece. The peak of my songwriting career. The greatest song ever written.
THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that!
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a bass player/recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
Ever since I was a little crustacean
I've had a different set of views
No explanation
All alone in this deep blue
Who would've thought that someone so nautical
Could end up being so theological
This song is in B
'Cause it's under the C
CHORUS 1
Life is pretty sick
Living as a Jewish lobster
I've got a yarmulke I made out of a clam
I don't eat ham
I don't know what ham is
I live underwater
Don't mean to sound overzealous
I'm just one proud Hebrew shellfish
My existence is ironic
And I love it
VERSE 2
See?
I'm not that different from you Jewmans at all
I've got a tallit wrapped around my shell
I'm also hundreds of feet tall
I'm a kaiju as well (roar)
And when I finally have my bar mitzvah
I'll invite King Kong, and Mothra, and Godzilla
And Clifford the Big Red Dog, I hope that he can
Celebrate me becoming a man
I mean, lobster
CHORUS 2
It's a life
Living as a kai-jewish lobster
I think I might take a trip into the town
Accidentally tearing buildings down
Oh, sorry, oh crap, I'm
Just looking for the rabbi
Not a good first impression
I just had a couple of questions
He'll understand them
They're about the Ten Clawmandments
(eh? eh? Get it, it's like commandment but with claw-)
BRIDGE
Oy vey, I just wanna be
With those who are like me
Who can see that all I really need
CHORUS 3
Oh, is to be accepted
As a kai-jewish lobster
I've got a yarmulke I made out of a clam (giant clam!)
I don't eat ham
I don't know what ham is
I live underwater
And if right now you're assumin'
I'm not a lobster 'cause I look like a human
That's because
I- I have no budget
