Beach Day
Sand in my toes,
Sun on my nose,
Wash with a hose,
Beach day.
Shells in the sand,
Walks on the strand,
Dad’s getting tanned,
Beach day.
Grandad’s gone in,
Wait can he swim?
Is that a – fin?
Beach day!
No life-guard here,
Jump off the pier,
Oh he’s quite near…
Beach day.
Got Grandad back,
No shark attack,
Time for a nap,
Beach day.
Sun on my nose,
Wash with a hose,
Beach day.
Shells in the sand,
Walks on the strand,
Dad’s getting tanned,
Beach day.
Grandad’s gone in,
Wait can he swim?
Is that a – fin?
Beach day!
No life-guard here,
Jump off the pier,
Oh he’s quite near…
Beach day.
Got Grandad back,
No shark attack,
Time for a nap,
Beach day.
