I went down to the ocean to take a look around
I swam out in the water and I heard the strangest sound
I looked underneath me and down there on the sand
I saw lobsters wearing uniforms marching in a band
Some were playing tubas, some played saxophones
Some were playing big bass drums and some were on trumbones
And the fish had gathered and were watching them that day
The lobsters they were putting on a mighty good parade
♪
The trumpetfish, they stepped right in a played a melody
The clownfish all did somersaults, happy as could be
The nice seahorses all in rows looked so very proud
And the lobsters led the whole parade, playing good and loud
♪
They marched right past a sunken ship and past a coral reef
They marched right by a big blue clam and then from way down deep
A giant squid came swimming up to listen for awhile
The manatees were floating 'round, it was fun to watch them smile
Suddenly out of nowhere, there came a giant whale
With a dozen pretty porpoises following his tail
The lobsters, the kept marching, playing right in time
Leading that big parade farther down the line
