Lyrics

Jaime helped out with some of the ideas on this jingle. Unfortunately she probably has no choice now. THIS IS WHAT SHE SIGNED UP FOR!


Sand is a granular grit
Feldspar, quartz
Think about construction,
metal foundries, diking, with
sand in the windows at work
It makes glass
Think about your toy box
Wonder why nothing in it is

If you are a kid, and play in the sun
Carrying a bucket hoping for some fun
Dirt, and sticks will be on the ground
You don’t have any good toys your parents tell you to pound

Sand in the house where you live
You’re too poor
Think about a paper route
Or plunder your pal Adam’s house
Sand all over Tatooine
That’s Star Wars
Think about the spaceships you’d give
Anything to play with your
Sand

    Are you, like, following regular updates from the Toy HOF so you can anticipate the recurring discussion of sand? Or are you just a precog? Also - this is good!
