The Girl from the Sand

Well I was walking down the beach on a hot summer day when the locals started making a scene - There was a bald headed guy he was telling the story about the daughter of a mermaid queen - She was an angel face beauty – an apple bottom cutie that came up from the sea every night - In a bikini tight and yellow she shook it just like 'Jello' made the tourist boys squirm with delight - And she said “hey, whatcha doin’ this summer?” – She said “hey, whatcha doin’ tonight?” - Then he told me the legend about her and the things she does to a man – but I don’t believe the story ‘bout the girl that lives out on the sand - Now on my way back home I came across a lifeguard who was counting his fingers and toes - He said he met a girl out in the deep now he can’t work and he can’t sleep “Was it her do you suppose?” - Did she say “hey, whatcha doin’ this summer?” – She said “hey, whatcha doin’ tonight?” - then I told him the legend about her and the things she does to a man - I still don’t believe the story ‘bout the girl from on the sand - Hey man did you see that? (See what?) She just jumped right out of the water and kissed me (Who’s she?) I ain’t never seen anything like that before (Man you’re seeing things) She kissed me! (Far out!) - With my vacation leaning toward the supernatural or at the very least mildly surreal - I nailed my windows and I locked my doors – Freaked to the tee down by the sea - “Thank you very much for this bathing suit – very sporty - very little chafing” - well now the scene turned strange my girl got naked started running across the sand - I said wait a minute baby there’s a misunderstanding ‘cause I only want to hold your hand - And she said “hey, whatcha doin’ this summer?” – she said “hey, whatcha doin’ tonight?” - and though I doubted the legend about her – well I seen what she does to a man - Now I’m going steady with the girl that lives out on the sand (He’s going steady with the girl that lives out on the sand)
