Two old sisters
Sittin' by the sea
One was Shig
The other was me

We bought new bikinis
Just for the occasion
I looked like a blimp
She looked like a raisin
 
We had a bright idea
To go to the beach
Wearing our bikinis
Stuck in the breach
 
We sat for awhile
And toasted in the sun
The water looked tempting
It was time for fun
 
Shig jumped in
And I went after
People on the beach
Were rolling with laughter
 
We each thought the other
Knew how to swim
We started sinking
Our chances looked slim
 
We grabbed each other
And started to paddle
I landed on the beach
With Shig astraddle
 
After that fiasco
We made a new rule
We'll do all our swimming
In the wading pool
