lyrics

In the IGA in Red Lake up in North Ontario
There lived a lonely lobster by the name of Lobby Joe
He had no way of knowing that it was his lucky day
The lobster gods had sent a Vegan angel on her way
Lobby Joe

Christine was out shopping for some spinach and tofu
Saw that lonely lobster and she knew just what to do
Sign above the lobster tank said 15 bucks a pound
So she put him in a cooler and she headed outta town
Lobby Joe

Lobby Joe, Lobby Joe
Luckiest crustacean that I know
There’s a lobster pound on airport road, outside of Halifax
Thousands fly out every day, but only one flew back
Lobby Joe

It’s a 6-hour drive to Winnipeg, Christine headed west
Gave 300 dollars to the man at UPS
Called a friend in Lunenburg, said Joe was on the plane
The luckiest crustacean flying eastward once again
Lobby Joe

Lobby Joe, Lobby Joe
Luckiest crustacean that I know
There’s a lobster pound on airport road, outside of Halifax
Thousands fly out every day, but only one flew back
Lobby Joe

Well, he might have ended in a pot, or stuffed inside a can
Or on some fancy table in a restaurant in Japan
Where Lobby Joe was put to sea, no one will ever know
But I’d like to think he’s swimming free somewhere in Peggy’s Cove
Lobby Joe

Lobby Joe, Lobby Joe
Luckiest crustacean that I know
There’s a lobster pound on airport road, outside of Halifax
Thousands fly out every day, but only one flew back
Lobby Joe

There’s a lobster pound on airport road, outside of Halifax
Thousands fly out every day, but only one flew back
Lobby Joe

Paul Dunn Ontario

In 2006, Paul stepped Out of the Shadows and caught the attention of Bryan Adams’ co-writer Jim Vallance. As the producer of iconic hits such as Cuts Like A Knife and Summer of 69, Vallance has an ear for talent.

“Great lyric perspective,” Vallance said after reviewing Paul’s I Don’t Wanna Write A Song. An “excellent song.”

This is honest music.
