Special and Grand! (and)

(Tune: Over in the Meadow)

Down on the beach where the sea meets the land

is a pretty little place to play on the strand.

With my pail and a shovel in my hand,

I’ll build you something that is special and grand.

Shovel! Shovel! Shape! Shape!

Pat it with my hand;

Pour, pour, pat, pat,

add a little sand.

I’ll make a little window and then I’ll stand

to show you a castle that is special and grand!

Behind! (ind)

(Tune: Teddy Bear’s Picnic)

Sometimes I find that work’s a grind,

and then I get behind!

Will someone please be ever so kind,

and say “just never mind!”

to those of us who never unwind,

who stay up late and get behind,

and then we’ll find some peace of mind . . .

and we’ll be fine!
