The Kinks Sand on My Shoes song lyrics

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
