Lyrics

Sit ting still be side the sea,

sand

cas tles pro tect ing me.

Sand y knights and a sand y king

lis ten to the songs the mer maids sing.

A sea shell shield and a star fish crown, and for the queen, a sea weed gown.

I feel safe from a pi rate’s at tack.

I smile and wave and the o cean waves back.

We watch the sea

wave all day,

’til the tide

sweeps the sand cas tles all

a way.
