lyrics

TIDEPOOL BOOGIE

Spoken Intro:
Okay, it’s time to go down to the ocean.
Oh, boy!

If you go down to the ocean
Ocean?
Down by some rocky shore
Rock out!
When the tide goes out, you’ll be dancing
Let’s dance!
Like you never, never danced before

Crabs
They pinch out the rhythm
Sea stars
Walk on hollow feet
Anemones
Are waving their tentacles
Sculpins
Are looking for something to eat

If you go down to the ocean
The ocean
Down by some rocky shore
Rock out!
When the tide goes out, you’ll be dancing
We like to dance!
Like you’ve never, never danced before
One, two three

Chorus:
Do the Tidepool Boogie
Boogie woogie woogie
Listen to that ocean beat
You do the Tidepool Boogie
Boogie woogie woogie
It’s amazing who you’ll meet

You do the Tidepool Boogie
Boogie woogie woogie
As the wind and water play
You do the Tidepool Boogie
Boogie woogie woogie
You can do it now twice a day

Mussels are holding on tightly
Limpets do the one-foot slide
Hermit crabs are looking for new homes
Sea palms sway in the tide
[Chorus]

Echinoderms have skin that is spiny (a sea star)
Cephalopods, means a head with feet (an octopus)
Gastropods, a foot with a stomach (a sea slug)
Tidepool critters are the strangest you’ll meet!
[Chorus]
