Overview
"Crab" was one of fourteen songs from the Green sessions leaked prior to release. This un-mastered version is over half a minute longer than the final album mix. According to an update by Karl Koch from February 8, 2001, Rivers Cuomo sang the lead vocals for the song 22 times straight before he was satisfied with it. In a 2006 fan interview, Cuomo said that "Crab" is "about a heterosexual guys frustration with the opposite sex."
A live version of the song was released on a rare French promotional CD known sometimes as the "Always" promo.

Lyrics
Crab if you want her
She won't be coming down
Crab if you want her
She won't be coming down
Crab if you need it
She put her knickers on
Crab if you need it
She put her knickers on
She said she's feeling lonely
And I say that's Ok
She won't be coming back 'round here, no way
She said she's feeling lonely
And I say that's Ok
She won't be coming back 'round here, no way
Crab at the booty
T'aint gonna do no good
Crab at the booty
T'aint gonna do no good
No, crab at the booty
T'aint gonna do no good
