Oh you’ll never find a beetle in the sea
Or a midge or an earwig or a bee
There are crabs & there are lobsters
With claws that want to nip you
But you’ll never find a beetle in the sea!

There are fishes flashing silver in the sun
& whales with flappy tails that weigh a ton
There are prawns with lots of kness
& feathered worms as big as trees
But you’ll never find a beetle in the sea!

Oh you’ll never find a beetle in the sea
Or a hairy caterpillar or a flea
You’ll finds sharks & eels & rays
That can swim for days & days
But you’ll never find a beetle in the sea!

There are squids with lots of tentacally arms
Squirting clouds of purple ink to hide their charms
There are schools of flying fish
& things in caves you never see
But you’ll never find a beetle in the sea!

Oh you’ll never find a beetle in the sea!
Oh you’ll never find a beetle in the sea!
Oh you’ll never find a beetle, never find a beetle
Oh you’ll never find a beetle in the sea!
