about
A song about the Australian beach in the 1950/60's. Pirates were in the movies and on early TV. Kids quite often dressed up as Pirates and Cowboys. I can remember one boy, about 5, dressed as a Pirate and crying because his 'Hot Dog' had fallen into the sand. That was my inspiration for this piece of music.

Beach Pirates
Intro. A
ntro. B
Intro. C
Beach Pirate’s, beach pirates, down by the sea they play.
Chorus
Down in the ocean, we swim all day, Oh what fun!
Down by the sea, we play all day, Oh what fun!
Verse 1
Pirate’s attacking their castles of sand.
Captains are screaming a ‘hotdog’ in hand.
Chorus
Verse 2
Surfboards are floating, a fin pointing high.
Riders are swimming, to have one more try.
Chorus
B Section
Girls smile, slowly drifting by, oh what fun we have in the hazy sunlight. Rock-pools hiding wond’rous sights, educating all, with their treasured delights.
