Take Me out to the Ocean
(Sung to: “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”)

Take me out to the ocean.
Take me out to the sea.

Oh it’s swim, swim, swim, under water.
Catch a ride on a whale, don’t fear.
For the sea animals are our friends,
Let’s give a great cheer!

I Went Swimming in the Ocean
(Sung to: “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”)

I went swimming in the ocean.
On a summer day.
I went swimming in the ocean.
And kicked and splashed and played.
After lunch we looked for seashells.
I found three or four.
You can hold one up to your ear.
And hear the ocean roar.
Hear the ocean roar.

Hear the ocean roar.
You can hear the ocean roar, roar, roar.
Hear the ocean roar.
Hear the ocean roar.
Hear the ocean roar, roar, roar.
