There's a kind of bad smell here
Like God cooking chicken soup in the sky
And the beach-goers they run riot
Their doughy bodies bathing in a pigsty
And the bleached sun it does not flatter
All them babies getting fatter
And the moms and the dads
They waltz around grotesque
As they dance this strange burlesque
There's a whiff of grapeshot here
Or maybe it's steaks on the barbecue
Volleyballs soar like killer comets
Careful one does not smack down on you
There's a dead seal washed up here
And a crowd of curious has gathered 'round
A boy pokes it with his jagged stick
He is thrilled with the discovery he's found
