Oh they won't let us show it at the beach no they won't let us show it at the beach <br />They think we're gonna grab it if it gets within our reach <br />And they won't let us show it at the beach <br /> <br />But you can show it in your parlor to most anyone you choose <br />You can show it at a party with your second shot of booze <br />You can show it on the corner wearin' overcoat and shoes <br />But they won't let us show it at the beach <br />No they won't let us show it at the beach friends <br />Ah they won't us show it at the beach <br />Oh they're sure we're gonna grab it if it gets within our reach <br />So they won't let us show it at the beach <br /> <br />But you can show it in the movies on the cineramic screen <br />You can show it in the most sophisticated magazine <br />You can show it while you're bouncing on the high school trampoline <br />But they won't let us show it at the beach <br /> <br />But if you've got a gun it's legal to display it on your hip <br />You can show your butcher knives to any interested kid <br />But if it's made for lovin' then you'd better keep it hid <br />And they won't let us show it at the beach<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/show-it-at-the-beach/
