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.
