I am the Lobster, and the curse stops here...
-Kate, mishearing "I am the last one, and the curse stops here", the refrain to the Whitlam's The Curse Stops Here

"At first I thought it was I am the Lobster. I know there's a song called I am the Walrus, so I thought for a while that I might be mishearing that. Because why would you write a song about being a Lobster?"

Singing...

Once a rich man, all I did was pout
But now a poor man down and out
How did this happen?
How far can you see?
It was the lobster that won over me!

Chorus:
Oh what a lobster!
What is there to do?
Oh what a lobster,
Lording over you!

I was high up, putting others down,
I would curse them, make them frown
Who could stop me?
Who could see?
Only the lobster frowning back at me!

Chorus:
Oh what a lobster!
What is there to do?
Oh what a lobster,
Lording over you!

Bridge:
It creeped, it ran,
behind me it was,
when I turned 'round all it said was!
"I am the lobster and the curse stops here"

Chorus:
Oh what a lobster!
What is there to do?
Oh what a lobster,
Lording over you!

Now but a poor man I can see,
The curse I placed on others, returned to me!
Someone stopped me?
Someone could see?
It was a lobster who set me free

Chorus:
Oh what a lobster!
What is there to do?
Oh what a lobster,
Lording over you!
