Your coat don't do much good in June
Lead threads keep your heart from singing its tune
(keep your heart from singing its tune)
Those gloves don't let your fingers show
You know, it's been a while since a June sky snowed
(it's been a while since a June sky snowed)

Your hat is sand-bound, crabs take it for their home
Let them set up ship cuz hat tricks went out long ago
(ya know hat tricks went out long ago)
Pull your scarf from your neck my dear
You'll need a naked neck to feel this air here
(oh to feel sea air here)

Let your laundry sun on the line, let it all be on the line.

Your shoes got stuck in a wet-sand show.
Let them go, we want our footprints to show
(I said I want our footprints to show)
Slip off your sleeves, you'll now wear your heart on your wrist
Fish-flop your arm, relax your hands from that fist
(I said, relax your hand from that fist)

Naked babes play on the shore where they've yet to regret no rags
Now your smokes will be your cloak where your skin wears every drag
