“Marshmallows”

 

It’s a drippety, droppity day,

 out along the vast pacific ocean,

 grab your raingear or umbrella,

 don’t bother with your suntan lotion

 

Marshmallows and hot chocolate,

 is just the drink for rainy times,

 it’s an agua, aqua day,

 raindrops, rock and roll and rhyme

 

The fish are getting frisky,

 the pelicans are cruising along,

 the seagulls are dining and dunking,

 and singing their ocean songs

 

Grab your coat, grab a hat and a sweater,

 it’s drippety, droppity day,

 who cares if we’re two or two hundred,

 we’ll go splash in the puddles and play …

 

Cannery Row,

California
