Verse 1:
Fine rock-pooling coast, this starfish on the toast,
The men in the crabbing boats, they cry.
Verse 2:
Far across the harbour, and 'round the sandy cove,
The shepherd with his pipe and sheepy, drove.
Verse 3:
Big cloud tumbling high, the a-mazing flying sky,
How the gulls are pillaging the town.
Verse 4:
Fan faring daffodil-ly, trumpet-ingly small,
All along the bathing hut wall.
Verse 5:
Far across the empty beach, the tide has left this world,
Old men in tweed find study there.
Verse 6:
Holding whelks and periwinkles, tingling in his hand.
Little does he know they hold him too.
Verse 7:
Fine rock-pooling coast, this starfish on the toast,
The men in the crabbing boats, they cry.
