Crabby Day
Pansy Division Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I never would forget him
To find a beauty such as he in my bed was rare
To sleep with him I was excited
But later I was less delighted
When I found that special present he left
In my pubic hair
Now it´s a crabby day, unhappy day
Leave me alone
I´m having a crabby day
So to the drugstore without haste
To solve the problem below the waist
Then the laundromat to disinfect my clothes
And sheets
Walking home who do I see
But the guy who gave those wretched vermin
To me
He quickly runs to opposite side of the street
Now it´s a crabby day, unhappy day
To be treated in such a shabby way
Gimme a break,
I´m having a rabby day
At home a message is waiting
From a boy i´ve been contemplating
He´s leaving town for a month and wants
To see me tonight
After the lotion´s been applied
Can I be sure every one of those critters has died
Or take the risk of passing them on
For a long-awaited night
It´s such a crabby day, unhappy day
Why did have to call today
Get me out of this
I´m having a crabby day
The lyrics to Pansy Division's Crabby Day are about the aftermath of a sexual encounter with someone who gave the singer crabs. The singer initially finds the person attractive and excited to sleep with them, but later discovers the unwelcome surprise of a crab infestation in their pubic hair. The song tells the story of the singer's efforts to rid themselves of the crabs, disinfect their clothing and bedding, and avoid the person who gave them the infestation.
The song speaks to the frustration and embarrassment of dealing with a sexually transmitted infection and the lengths one must go to in order to manage the situation. The lyrics also touch on the mixed emotions that can come with sexual desire and the disappointment of a potentially missed opportunity with someone else due to the infestation.

I knew when I first met him
I had a feeling that he was special when I met him
That I never would forget him
He made an impression on me that would last a long time
To find a beauty such as he in my bed was rare
It was rare for me to have someone as attractive as him in my bed
To sleep with him I was excited
I was very excited to sleep with him
But later I was less delighted
My excitement subsided when I found something unpleasant
When I found that special present he left
I discovered that he had given me an unwanted gift
In my pubic hair
The gift was in my pubic hair
Now it´s a crabby day, unhappy day
I am having a terrible day
I´ll never forget him i´m sad to say
Unfortunately, I will always remember him
Leave me alone
I want to be left alone
I´m having a crabby day
I am very unhappy today
So to the drugstore without haste
I went quickly to the drugstore
To solve the problem below the waist
To treat the unwanted gift in my pubic hair
Then the laundromat to disinfect my clothes
I went to the laundromat to clean my clothes
And sheets
And my sheets
Walking home who do I see
On my way home, I saw someone unexpected
But the guy who gave those wretched vermin
It was the guy who had given me the unwanted gift
To me
He had given me the unwanted gift
He quickly runs to opposite side of the street
He ran away from me quickly
Now it´s a crabby day, unhappy day
I am still having a terrible day
To be treated in such a shabby way
I was not happy with how I was treated
Gimme a break,
Leave me alone
I´m having a rabby day
I am having a really bad day
At home a message is waiting
There was a message for me at home
From a boy i´ve been contemplating
It was from a boy that I had been thinking about
He´s leaving town for a month and wants
He is leaving town and he wants to see me tonight
To see me tonight
He wants to meet me tonight
After the lotion´s been applied
After applying lotion to treat the unwanted gift
Can I be sure every one of those critters has died
I was not sure if all the unwanted guests had been eliminated
Or take the risk of passing them on
I had a choice to make - whether to pass on the unwanted guests or not
For a long-awaited night
For a night that I had been looking forward to for a long time
It´s such a crabby day, unhappy day
My day continues to be terrible
Why did have to call today
Why did he call me today of all days
Get me out of this
I want to get out of this situation
I´m having a crabby day
I am still having a really bad day
