Dungeness
Sing to tune of Silver Bells
Lyrics by Clint Carter
See the crab pots, stacks of crab pots
Waiting for the right day
In a while they'll be going out crabbing
There they go now, dropping pots now,
Hope they come back real soon,
And we'll all cook up crab and we'll eat...
Dungeness, Dungeness,
it's crabbing time in Ilwaco
Dungeness, Dungeness,
soon it will be crabbing day
Hear the shells crunch,
as we have lunch
Made from that tasty treat
Put another crab on the cooker
Crab for lunch and,
crab for dinner
Now it's time to take a pause,
and say "Thanks for the crab,
Santa Claws"
Dungeness, Dungeness,
It's crabbing time in Ilwaco
Dungeness, Dungeness,
Soon it will be crabbing day

Crab Pot Tree
Sing to the tune of Jingle Bells
Lyrics by Clint Carter
Hear the Ilwaco Merchants Association Chorale sing this song! [2.2 MB mp3]
Coming in to port,
With crab for everyone,
Just like tater chips,
You can't eat just one,
Here comes Southern Cross
And then Crystal Marie
With their big boats filled with crab
Just for you and me
Oh, crab pot tree
Made of steel and wire,
Put another crab pot on,
Let's make the tree go higher,
Crab pot tree, crab pot tree
With all your buoys and lights,
Let's cook up some crab and have
A Dungeness tonight
Sixteen feet of love,
Fellowship and joy
Made with old crab pots,
Lights and lots of buoys
Shining towards the town,
And also out to sea,
Bring our crabbers, safe to port,
With crabs for you and me
Oh, crab pot tree
Made of steel and wire,
Put another crab pot on,
Let's make the tree go higher,
Crab pot tree, crab pot tree
With all your buoys and lights,
Let's cook up some crab and have
A Dungeness tonight
