Donovan
Starfish-on-the-Toast
[Intro]
*Surf*
[Verse 1]
Fine rock-pooling coast
This Starfish-on-the-Toast
The men in the crabbin' boats they cry
[Verse 2]
Far across the harbour
'Round the sandy cove
The shepherd wi' his pipe and sheepy-drove
[Verse 3]
Big cloud tumbling high
The amazing flying sky
How the gulls are pillaging the town
[Verse 4]
Fanfaring daffodilly
Trumpetingly small
All along the bathing hut wall
[Verse 5]
Far along the empty beach
The tide has left a world
Old men in tweed find study there
[Verse 6]
Holding whelks and periwinkles
Tingling in his hand
Little does he know they hold him, too
[Verse 1]
Fine rock-pooling coast
This Starfish-on-the-Toast
The men in the crabbin' boats they cry
[Verse 2]
Far across the harbour
Around the sandy cove
The shepherd wi' his pipe and sheepy-drove
