Once upon a time, by the sea so blue,
A little crab scurried, what should he do?
He wanted to play and have some fun,
So he looked for a place where the day had begun.

He found a beach with sand so fine,
And a boat that was waiting just in line.
He built a sandcastle with a little shell,
And he was so happy, he couldn't help but yell!

The sea was calm, the sun was bright,
It was the perfect day for playing all night.
The crab had friends, they all agreed,
This was the best beach they ever did see!

So they played and laughed and danced with glee,
And they had the time of their lives, you see.
They swam in the water and played in the sand,
And before they knew it, the day had come to an end.

So the little crab said with a smile so wide,
"Let's wait for another day just like this, side by side."
And with that, they all said goodbye,
To the beach and the sea, under the bright blue sky.
