Little starfish in the sea
Waving your five arms at me
On the sand, you like to rest
With the ocean waves, you're blessed
Shiny, shiny, little star
How I wonder what you are
In the tide pools, you will stay
Sparkling bright throughout the day
When the salty tide rolls in
And the ocean sounds begin
You hold on so very tight
Through the moonlit, gentle night
Shiny, shiny, little star
How I wonder what you are
In the tide pools, you will stay
Sparkling bright throughout the day
Count the arms, one, two, three, four, five
So amazing and alive!
Red and orange, colors bold
A wonder to behold!
Shiny, shiny, little star
How I wonder what you are
In the tide pools, you will stay
Sparkling bright throughout the day
Sparkling bright… so bright…
Goodnight, starfish, goodnight.
