lyrics

Life on the shore, it’s a white foam fizzy
Life on the shore, the waves are dizzy

Chorus:
Life on the shore, you’ve got to move with the tide
It’s run real fast or burrow and hide

Live on the shore, clams have what they need
Life on the shore, because we filter feed
[Chorus]

Life on the shore, sandpipers race
Life on the shore, the waves we chase
[Chorus]

Life on the shore, sand crabs dig fast
Life on the shore, as the waves roll past
[Chorus]

Life on the shore, willets cry
Life on the shore, we fly to run to fly
[Chorus]

Life on the shore, gulls grab a snack
Life on the shore, we peck at the wrack
[Chorus]

Life on the shore, tracks each day
Life on the shore, then they’re washed away.
[Chorus]

We welcome you to use our lyrics & music for classrooms and camps. Please include credit. Thank you!
