Down on the shelf, an elf I saw,
C#m         E/B             B  E/B
I took his picture, he was waving.

Making love in the cool black sand,

Thinking where I've be-en.

Another toe in the ocean.

Merry making with the fairies
Going down to the onion patch
To you and me, to shining seas
I see the lights of Edward Thatch

No more waiting for a new day
You've got to swim sometimes

Chorus:
I'll be here for the rest of my life
Up in the land of green
Making love in the cool, black sand
Thinking where I've been
Oohoohooh, I put my toe in the ocean
I have a drink, I start to sink
Another toe in the ocean

I have a drink, I start to sink
I put my toe in the ocean
I have a drink, I start to sink
Another toe in the ocean
I have a drink, I start to sink
Another toe in the ocean
