*Introduction*
Everywhere I go
*dum dum dum*
Different critters roam
*dum dum dum*
Around the water
*dum dum dum*
Into the sea foam
*dum dum dum*
They are crabs,
They are birds
They are different
'Round the world-
STOP!
What?
Lemme show you how it's really done!
Verse 1:
Have you ever wondered why beaches are flat
Or how you'll never sink in where you step at
Waves and currents tumble and float along the shore
Grains lodge on offshore bars, they don't soar
The fine sand is then dragged seaward
Toward the water and waves, haven't ya heard?
Nature's true grit has a pretty crazy mix
Ground-up shells, quartz and detritus (dih-tray-tus)
Sand is the bedrock of our picture-perfect beaches
OH MY GOSH LOOK! THAT'S A BAG OF PEACHES!
Chorus:
Fa la la la la
Dude it's not even the holidays
But i'll continue to rap this anyways
Lookin' to the beach for sunny days
Watch out behind you, here come the waves!
*Other Person: There's no waves coming!*
Verse 2:
Little Susie hermit crab's seen in the intertidal zone
That's like in a tide pool if you didn't know
She's protected from the birds in her second-home shell
She moves from time to time so she can fit well
Big Bob birgus latro was Little Susie's daddy
Shell-less and the world's largest terrestrial invertebrate
Hermit crabs like them mostly use shells of a sea snail
With some very colorful, they're the opposite of pale
Little Susie is different, she's not exactly a true crab
But don't blame her, cause she's still pretty rad!
Chorus:
Fa la la la la
Dude it's not even the holidays
But i'll continue to rap this anyways
Lookin' to the beach for sunny days
Watch out behind you, here come the waves!
*Other Person: There's no waves coming!*
Verse 3:
Seaweed, yeah that's right I went there
There are different types of them
(dude i really don't care!)
I'm about to name 'em off, of course first to last
Thallus, Lamina, Stripe, and Holdfast
Seaweed plants need seawater and the presence of light
To do photosynthesis and live alright
Did ya know that there's seaweed farming in Indonesia?
(I don't care!) You don't? Well buddy who needs ya!
They adapted to the ways of the sea, free floating
They also adapted to live in the tidal rock pools
WAIT THAT DIDN'T RHYME!?
Chorus:
Fa la la la la
Dude it's not even the holidays
But i'll continue to rap this anyways
Lookin' to the beach for sunny days
Watch out behind you, here come the waves!
*Other Person: There's no waves coming!*
Hah, i'm cool.
*Other Person: Uh, no you're not.*
OKAY NOW I'M SERIOUS, A WAVE'S COMING!
*runs away*
*Other Person: I don't believe-*turns around*Oh great*
