Tide Pool Parade

[Intro] Sun-warmed rocks, a sparkle on the tide, hey hey A goofy grin, and a bag of seashells in sight, hey hey [Verse 1] I lace up sandals, grab a jar, and a grin that won’t quit A lighthouse wink, a crab steals my lunch with a tip-top skit The minnows flash like telegrams from the sea to me “Here’s a treasure map,” I joke, “it ends with iced tea.” [Pre-Chorus] Bubbles pop, my pockets crash with laughter free Every splash, a memory, a goofy memory [Chorus] Oh, this tide pool parade, what a sunny charade I’m chasing goofy glimmers in the foam and the spray If the seagull heckles, I’ll just grin and wave Summer’s small miracles in a splashy, silly way [Verse 2] A snail wears a crown of kelp like a tiny seashell king I bow to the tide pool, calling him my majestic thing A shrimp shoots out of a crack like confetti in the sun I clap my hands, “Encore!”—the ocean gives a playful run [Pre-Chorus] Bubbles pop, my pockets crash with laughter free Every splash, a memory, a goofy memory [Chorus] Oh, this tide pool parade, what a sunny charade I’m chasing goofy glimmers in the foam and the spray If the seagull heckles, I’ll just grin and wave Summer’s small miracles in a splashy, silly way [Bridge] Sunbeams drum on my shoulders, a chorus in the sand I’m a tourist of the sea, with a giggle in my hand [Chorus] Oh, this tide pool parade, what a sunny charade I’m chasing goofy glimmers in the foam and the spray If the seagull heckles, I’ll just grin and wave Summer’s small miracles in a splashy, silly way [Outro] Pocket full of pebbles, sunlit laugh in the air Another tide pool postcard to the day I wandered there
