Chords
I created this version based off of the chords transcribed by Alden Chew form his version on JoCopedia.
I transposed it to be played without a capo. And on ukulele.

[Intro Riff]
Bb Bsus4 x4
[Verse]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 When I was a young boy I'd follow the path Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 Down past the dunes to the sea Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 There on the warm sandy beaches we'd lie Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 The furry old lobsters and me D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 They'd whistle and squeal as they ran through the waves D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 So sleek, so furry and fair Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 But now when I go down to see my old friends Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 The beaches are empty and bare
[Chorus]
Bb F D# Bb Sing hey hidey ho, where'd the old lobster go? Bb D# F And his body so furry and brown? D# F Gm C7 Sing ho hidey hey, have they all gone away? D# F Bb For we haven't seen many around
[Intro Riff]
[Verse]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 New York sends a monster to darken our seas Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 Cursed be the day that it came Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 They are ugly and small and not tasty at all Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 They are lobsters in nothing but name D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 They don't smash open clams on their bellies with stones D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 They have neither whiskers nor paws Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 And the furry old lobster's so easily crushed Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4 In the grip of their terrible claws
[Chorus]
Bb F D# Bb Sing hey hidey ho, where'd the old lobster go? Bb D# F And his body so furry and brown? D# F Gm C7 Sing ho hidey hey, have they all gone away? D# F Bb Gm For we haven't seen many around D# F Bb Gm No, we haven't seen many around D# F Bb No, we haven't seen many around
