Maggie and milly and molly and may
Went down to the beach one day to play

Maggie and milly and molly and may
Went down to the beach one day to play

And maggie discovered a shell that sang
So sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles

Maggie and milly and molly and may
Maggie and milly and molly and may

Milly befriended a stranded star
Whose rays, whose rays five languid fingers were

Maggie and milly and molly and may
Maggie and milly and molly and may

Molly was chased by a horrible thing
Which raced sideways, blowing, blowing bubbles

May came home with a smooth round stone
Small as a world and as large as alone

For whatever we lose, like a you or a me
It's always ourselves that we find at the sea
