As I sit by the sea
   Drink tequila by the shade of a tree
   There's a seniorita sat on my knee
   Sprinkling sand all over me
  
   I've got sand on my shoes
   I've lost everything that I'm gonna lose
   I've got nothing but the sun and the moon
   And the sand that's on the beach
  
   I am happy though my shoes are tattered and torn
   Because the sea is so shiney
   Ba ba-um-ba
   Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-um-ba
  
   I've got sand on my shoes
  
   Thought I was civilized
   Till I saw the sea and I realized
   That the city life was just not for me
   Left my troubles behind me
   Ba ba-um-ba
   Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-um-ba
  
   I've got sand on my shoes
   I've got nothing else that I'm gonna lose
   I've got nothing but the sun and the moon
   And that's plenty for me
  
   I've got sand on my shoes
   I've got sand on my shoes
   I've got sand on my shoes
   Sand on my shoes
   Ba ba ba ba-um-ba
   Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-um-ba
