The Skank on the Sand

[Intro]
[Verse]
Me say, the sky was looking grey
It felt like such a rainy day
The boardwalk started to sway
When the horns began to play
We kicked the salt away
In our own special way
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick it up, pick it up now
Show the sleepy town just how
To turn the tide around
With a heavy brassy sound
[Chorus]
We're skanking on the sand
The best band in the land
Take a stranger by the hand
Just like we always planned
Blue snow cones in the heat
Moving to the offbeat
Life is looking sweet
Right here on the street
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we feel it
Don't you conceal it
The riddim, we steal it
The spirit, we seal it
[Verse]
Old Man Joe on the sax
Giving all the kids the facts
No time to just relax
Follow the checkerboard tracks
Sticky syrup on your chin
Show us that toothy grin
Let the celebration begin
Let the good vibes in
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick it up, pick it up now
Show the sleepy town just how
To turn the tide around
With a heavy brassy sound
[Chorus]
We're skanking on the sand
The best band in the land
Take a stranger by the hand
Just like we always planned
Blue snow cones in the heat
Moving to the offbeat
Life is looking sweet
Right here on the street
[Bridge]
Trombone sliding low
Watch the energy grow
One big happy row
Put on a massive show
Rain can't stop the flow
Everywhere we go
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
The mayor’s dancing in the rain
Forget the worry and the pain
We’re all on the same train
Nothing left to explain
The town is wide awake
For goodness sake
The morning’s about to break
On the ripples of the lake
[Chorus]
We're skanking on the sand
The best band in the land
Take a stranger by the hand
Just like we always planned
Blue snow cones in the heat
Moving to the offbeat
Life is looking sweet
Right here on the street
[Hook]
One, two, step!
Keep that sunny pep!
Watch your rep!
One, two, step!
[Outro]
