Analysis of A day at the beach
What a wonderful day
To go to the beach
All the kids come down to play
The water has a nice sway
The segals are making a screech
What a wonderful day
Why don't you come down to the bay
Its not that hard to reach
All the kids come down to play
You dont have to play and can just lay
So come here now and have a peach
What a wonderful day
So are you on the way
Would you like a seat theres enough for us each
All the kids come down to play
When you arrive i will give a big yay
Theres no more for me to teach
What a wonderful day
All the kids come down to play
