body

sunny sock rock

there is a place i've heard of

and it's where i want to be

it is somewhere lost socks go to

and here they all stroll free

i have heard that this happy sand

is the chummiest spot on earth

but the only way to get there

is to swim, row, drift or surf

they say it looks like no one lives there

it seems just an empty patch

one spies only sand and wilderness

but you see, there is one catch

you cannot join the gay life there

your heart needs to be sweet, i bet

you frankly have to love odd socks enough

not to mind to not wear them in a set

never met someone who's been there

but rumours sure are rife

once a body gets there

you don't want to leave that life

this place is such a secret

it's not on any maps

of the earth or of the stars

it's somewhere between the gaps

their beach is one small island

and all the rocks there dance

socks just lounge the whole day long

and kites do fly given half a chance

they all love water, clearly

the sea is what they crave

and they all love playing cricket

the socks, rocks, kites and waves

fishes, squid and mermaids

they join the bash most nights

socks frolic with the moon and stars

they barbecue till beach dawn lights

this is the place to party

here single socks will dock

it's play time twenty-four-seven

we're talking about sunny sock rock

music is the love they share

the socks, the rocks, the kites,

socks tap toes, kites twitch tails

and rocks do stomp through nights

the latest hit is 'dreadsock rag'

they boogie, man, they do

the kites, the rocks, the happy socks

i have to go there too

so if you find one single sock

be not inclined to mope

since the other sock plays at sunny sock rock

you know that you will cope

but be sure to wear the one you have

together with one other

for they can never join their mates

who at sunny sock rock do gather

i say farewell i'm leaving now

i'm off to search for those rocks

i'm on my way to the ocean today

i'm in a hurry to join all those socks

i'll dive and drift and surf and swim

to get there, i'll row in a drum

so that i can sing and laugh and live-

sunny sock rock here i come
